Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Ben Gentile, I am a young writer and have written and self-published a science-fiction novel titled Ra, which went on to place in the top 3% of one of Ridley Scott’s international manuscript contests. I have also written three television show episodes, and six feature-length film screenplays, the most recent two of which, Nameless and 22 Days are for very marketable films and I look forward to pitching them.
