I'd say the story exposes that same fantasy shared by a lot of typical, red-blooded males, an obsession with hot cars and beautiful women.
2. Why did you decide to write this screenplay?
I guess I have a fairly vivid imagination and actually came up with the concept while day-dreaming one day. Later I felt a real urge to share the idea with as many people as I could.
3. How long have you been writing screenplays?
I completed my first screenplay, a full feature length script entitled "Evasion" in 2000.
4. What film have you seen the most in your lifetime?
That's a tough one, but probably American Graffiti.
5. What artist in the industry would you love to work with?
I think it's a tie between directors Douglas Jackson and Scott Eldridge.
6. Who was your hero growing up?
Captain James T. Kirk from the original Star Trek series.
7. Ideally, where would you like to be in 5 years?
Alive and well and involved with screenwriting, acting, and/or filmmaking in some capacity.
8. Describe your process; do you have a set routine, method for writing?
There's really no set pattern. I usually just become inspired spontaneously and take it from there.
9. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
Apart from writing I guess I'm most passionate about screen-acting and recreational hockey, not necessarily in that order. I'll admit that I grew up wanting to play hockey professionally.
10. What influenced you to enter the WILDsound Script Contest?
I'd completed several pieces of material including a few screenplays and some short and postcard stories and was watching for an oppportunity to see how they'd do in competition.
11. Influence people to vote for your one page script?
I hope and feel it's the type of humourous story that would strike a chord with just about anybody. But even if it ends up only entertaining a few, then it was well worth writing.
