"ZONE OF SILENCE" Places in Austin Film Fest Screenplay Competition

September 2, 2024

For the 2nd year in a row, I’ve had a script place in Austin Film Festival’s screenplay competition! My original pilot, Zone of Silence, was named a ‘2nd Rounder,’ landing it in the top 20% of 10,000+ script submitted this year.

About Zone of Silence:

A devout Mormon father’s violent visions of an ancestral colony in Mexico reawaken his repressed sexuality and unearth supernatural forces that threaten his family’s very existence.
