I’m a published author, commissioned/ optioned/award-winning screenwriter who writes in many genres: pyschological and crime thrillers, three historical features to a Rom Com. My screenplays have been optioned many times but the final finances couldn't be found. Hopefully, this will change through FilmFreeway as these are the selections and awards I won in 2024 for Best Original Screenplays on this site.
