Woohoo! We're headin' to Nashville! Virtually, anyhow. Our supernatural crime TV pilot, Near Death, is a finalist in the Nashville Film Festival Screenwriting Competition. We are so excited to participate in screenings and zoom panels and meetings and more this October, 2020.
July 14th, 2020:
Hey everyone! Wanted to share the interview that Carlo and I recently gave the online screenwriting magazine MovieBytes after two of our scripts, DARK HORIZONS and TIME ZERO, ascended to the VERY TOP in their ranks of 1000+ award-winning scripts. We are so so excited because our feature film script (TIME ZERO) was just acquired by Canadian producers who are very passionate about making it into a great film as early as this Autumn! We would also love to thank our manager
Kathy Muraviov for negotiating for us. More soon!
