NOW. NEW? NEXT!
NOW:
Ding Dong Ditch’ has been optioned by Producer Amy Salko Robertson (a dynamo with experience and a great sense of humor), with Chris Long set to direct (and conveniently I married the Director before we made the movie). Plans going forward for filming next summer over television hiatus.
NEW:
My new screenplay—this one a short, so was able to knock it out in a matter of hours, and now I never want to write a full length again—is being submitted along with ‘Ding Dong Ditch, the Short’ to AFI for consider-ation to be filmed as part of their Women Directors Program. ‘Mindfield’ is a tense psychological drama which explores family dynamics within a marriage on its last legs (very cheery). With a surprise twist ending (coming on page 11—so basically, eleven minutes later you’re done reading!) four characters and two sets, aside from the ‘Snow FX’ I think it’s pretty darn low budget too!
NEXT:
Two up-coming screenplays, (working titles: ‘Revenge’ and ‘The Cabin’) both Thriller/Horror, both being written simultaneously—well, more or less. Basic-ally I write a little bit on one, till I can’t stand it anymore; about that time, the other one starts to look good to me…So fickle. But so far so good…
And on the fiction writing front: I want to stay in my writers group, so I’ve had to start on a new book—this one dealing with ghosts and broken hearts, it’s set on the infamous Chelsea Houseboat Moorings in London.
