Hi Michael Kenney! Thanks for sharing your background, it's so cool that you worked with Sam Raimi! What's your newest script about that you're working on?

Michael Kenney

Hi, Emily. I'm returning to work on a World War II Christmas comedy-adventure which I set aside a few years ago. I'm also working on a giallo dark comedy.

Jeffrey Knepper

Maurice Vaughan

Great to meet you, Michael Kenney. I've been planning to watch ARMY OF DARKNESS again. I'll look for you in it.

Cult Classic

Just wanted to brag that my screenplay, HOT ROD MONSTERS, just got a 9.5 and a RECOMMEND in the 1st round of the Fall DIVERSE VOICES screenwriting contest. The critic called it a "cult classic".

Hot damn.
