Writer Statement

I am pleased to have completed my first full length Feature Screenplay, 'Fright Games'.
The Survival/Horror Genre at this present time is rextremely popular, with Productions like Squid Game and The Walking Dead. Fright Games falls perfectly into this category, with tension, twists, horror, and plenty of fear for an audience to enjoy.
