Writer Biography - Michael Tyre, Eric Myrieckes

I've dreamed of being a filmmaker since I was 5. The Jester's Conviction made the semifinals in scriptapalooza 2015. The film was written with the intentions of Adam Sandler playing the lead protagonist and antagonist, and Rob Schnieder playing the jester. I also co-wrote Project World Record, the true-life story about the rise and fall of the fastest man in the world (Timothy Montgomery). The short screenplay adaption is currently ranked in the top 38% of 131,008 screenplays on the Coverfly production hub.
