What an amazing first few months 2008 has produced - especially on the writing front. Months of brain cell inactivity, a drying up of writers creative juices, and the stress of pre-production hell on my first feature production have all been severely blown away in the hurricane of inspiration.
So what's the latest..................completed two (2) new hard-hitting socio-political dramas, featurettes really in the modern way of thinking, that are con troversial and gut-wrenchingly sad in the process. They touch on subject matters that will cause a lot of controvery once made.
Packaged a pacey 25-pager psychological thriller treatment that has been variously described as the new "Se7en" by several well placed industry personnel. Working to interest Michael Fassbender to take on the lead role.
Pitched a funny and quite retro short film exploring the alternative origins of Jack the Ripper all to be shot in 2D/3D animation with live action insertions for funding.
Completed a Romantic Comedy one pager about a hapless individual struggling to win the girl of his dreams but finding a special 'love potion' that will make all his dreams come true......so long as he can get her to fall in love with him before the last of the potion wears off. Will start to write this at the end of the year hopefully.
Writing a new feature film script for a low budget zombie'esque politico/scifi/horror.
Writing a new script for a low budget 75 minute psychological thriller feature about a family man who reluctantly agrees to take time from a heavy workload to spend time with his dysfunctional family in order to repair relations, but encounters unexpected tragedies as a result. Prepping to shoot in September on £6k as a sort of Saw / Devils Rejects / Lost Highway narrative mix.
Well that's it so far this year........on top of all the production, finance, and pitching of the completed work already on file. I don't know where all this stuff comes from but I'm not complaining.
Keep writin'.
Nick
