Writer Statement

The idea to write this screenplay came about when I was doing genealogy research and found an Irish ancestor named "Seneca Vaughn" and so began the story in my mind of how someone might come by that name. This lead to almost a year of research on the Civil War, including visiting Civil War Fort locations in NM and visiting the Seneca Reservation in NY. Writing socially relevant screenplays with inclusive casting is my ultimate goal as a writer.
