In general the cyclical nature of our lives. How our lives are marked in moments in time. Elation, tragedy, and ultimately the search to leave our own personal marks in the world.
2. Why did you decide to write this screenplay?
Like all my writing I write to get myself out of my head. It gives me a sense of finality to accomplish the task. And to focus on something other than daily routines that complicate my life.
3. How long have you been writing screenplays?
8 months - 2 features, 2 shorts.
4. What film have you seen the most in your lifetime?
Fight Club
5. What artist in the industry would you love to work with?
Werner Herzog
6. Who was your hero growing up?
Didn't really have one. My uncle I suppose, he taught me to test my own personal limits and to keep going even though it feels as though you cannot.
7. Ideally, where would you like to be in 5 years?
Sitting on my balcony writing another piece.
8. Describe your process; do you have a set routine, method for writing?
No real routine. I try to get up early and get my writing done before noon. Generally it takes me about a month to come up with a first draft of a feature screenplay and about 1- 2 days for anything shorter.
9. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
Figuring it out.
10. What influenced you to enter the WILDsound Script Contest?
A friend encouraged me to enter. To be honest I did it for her, I had no desire to take my writing to any other professional level. For me it is a hobby and it is the process that I crave more than the finished product. It allows me to get out of myself.
11. Why should people vote for your One Page script?
Ha! If they like it vote. But there are 19 others who are probably more deserving.
