"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.

Inside the SEPTEMBER Edit Suite

January 23, 2024

And when I say “edit suite” I mean “zoom room.” But Editor Kevin Horkaew and I are making great progress! They say a movie is written three times: once by the screenwriter, once by the director, then in the editing room. It’s true, and I couldn’t ask for a better collaborator on this final draft of of my script/direction!
