Writer Biography - Lorna Norrise, Lauren Rosson

Dear Film Freeway team members,

Thank you!
Lauren and I value your time and would greatly appreciate introducing our 2021-2023 feature screenplay titled: WAKE OF THE QUASIMODO.
We're seeking representation for this attention-grabbing fantasy/ drama with a resilient premise.

The year is 1482, and a legendary colony of Quasimodo villagers is at war with the townspeople of Collengraht. The main character, Quasimodo (William), abhors his grotesque appearance and desires to look more human. A deceiving priest (Gaius) arrives in Collengraht and shatters William's naïve perception of the townspeople, forcing him and others to make irreversible choices.

Lauren and I have been a duo screenwriting team for 5 years and completed various additional screenplays, but WAKE OF THE QUASIMODO has drawn award-winning attention as a three-time, First Place feature screenplay and has succeeded Quarter-final, Semi-final, and Finals status amongst several competitive screenwriting competitions. Our script has been recognized at the Script Summit Competition, the 100 Screenplays Festival, the Finish Line Script Competition, the Table Read My Screenplay, and the New Hope Script Competition.

We visualize your guidance to help us reach our goals and would be thrilled to discuss any interest in our screenplay, WAKE OF THE QUASIMODO, in further detail at your earliest convenience.
Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Lorna Norrise (Screenwriter/ Podcaster)

Dear Film Freeway Representatives,

We are Lauren and Lorna, screenwriters and co-hosts of the Mumm and Dean Screenwriters' Podcast, based in Sacramento, California.
With over 20 years of experience in the craft of screenwriting, we have honed our storytelling skills and completed two full-length feature screenplays. Our first screenplay, Wake of the Quasimodo, is a fantasy drama that weaves a tale of revenge, faith, and redemption.
The story follows a priest who receives an invitation from a mysterious stranger with a bizarre story—a story that ultimately serves as the stranger's method of revenge.
In addition to our screenwriting endeavors, we launched the Mumm and Dean Screenwriters' Podcast to celebrate and promote filmmaking, screenwriting, and local talent in Sacramento.
Through interviews and discussions, we have created a platform that highlights the creativity and dedication of individuals within the film and entertainment industry.
We are eager to explore how our screenplays and podcast can align with Film Freeway's vision and contribute to the art of storytelling and filmmaking.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss potential partnerships and creative ventures.

Warm regards,

Lauren and Lorna
