Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

I believe my screenplay should be made into a movie because it is well written, telling an extremely detailed and intricate story that will keep the audience captivated from beginning to end. I have put a lot of sweat, blood and tears literally into this story and to see it come to its final fruition on the screen is what I believe it deserves.

How would you describe this script in two words?

Mind Boggling.

What movie have you seen the most times in your life?

Stigmata.

How long have you been working on this screenplay?

The book took me many years and the screenplay took 6 months of continuous hard work ghosted by Lynn Santer.

How many stories have you written?

I have written 2 novels and a range of Warped Fairy Tales.

What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the
most times in your life?)

I listen to Hell Yeah a lot and find it hard to single out one song because I relate to the majority. Plus I listen to a lot of New Orleans jazz. Without those I would be doomed.

What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?

I faced many obstacles, from serious health issues to a separation. It was a tremendously difficult time in my life.

Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?

Animals, music and living happily ever after in New Orleans.
