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

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.

New Poster, Who Dis?

I dipped into my past life as a graphic designer (srsly) to create the poster for September! Featuring Frankie J. Alvarez, as shot so beautifully by DP Easton Carter Angle!

Inside the SEPTEMBER Edit Suite

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!
