"Enter the Room" Screenplay

A young adult (Brian) is visited by his brother, Jeremy, who needs a place to stay as he settles into his new city. The two polar opposite personalities begin to clash as Jeremy's presence poses a threat to Brian's way of life. Brian's uptight personality and unreasonable living standards rub off on Jeremy, creating an incredible amount of tension. Bad blood, stemming from a traumatic past event reveals the shocking truth of the brothers' current situations, as Brian struggles to differentiate between reality and his worst nightmares.

Writer Biography - Harry Waldman

I am a passionate filmmaker who has been watching movies since as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite films include "Memento", "The Dark Knight", The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Alien", etc. I have seen over 8,500 films and am as crazy about movies as any individual you will ever meet. I studied Business at Ithaca College and ironically figured out my passion right as I was graduating. I have worked on a number of various films and have written, directed, and edited "515", "Enter the Room", "In the Backseat", "Bay For Blood" and "The Corridor Crossing". I also have a few more projects in the pre-production stage.
