Rewind

Firstly, let me thank you for your consideration of my screenplay. Secondly, I would like to give you a brief bio about myself. This will help you to get to know me and some of the aspects of my life that may have influenced the creation of this story.

I was born in Scotland and emigrated to Canada when I was twenty years old. In my youth I was a keen writer, had a part-time job as a copyboy in a national newspaper, and participated in local theatre as an actor, stage hand and FX technician.

By my mid-twenties I went through a career change into business, eventually becoming a management consultant and gaining an MBA. This career took me back to the UK, to the Middle East and back to Canada.

During my business career, I wrote several articles for business journals and got back into the theatre as a director and a business mentor to small theatre companies.

Recently, I decided to make another significant career change. I decided to give up my corporate career and commit myself to writing and acting.

My first screenplay was a crime/thriller called "Crimson Queen", which received very positive reviews and acceptance and awards in various film festivals.

"Blue Monday" was my second feature screenplay. Falling into the drama genre, this story is quite different from "Crimson Queen". It is certainly more dialogue based and has several strong characters within it. I very much enjoyed the challenge of developing good character arcs and bringing the main players to life.

I recently completed this screenplay, a short entitled "Rewind", which is a tale about a supernatural Super 8 camera. I have tried to limit the number of locations in this story to make it more attractive from a production point of view, while ensuring that the visual elements of the story are left intact.

Once again, thank you for your consideration and above all I hope that you enjoy the story.
