FALL WINTER WRITING BREAK..
I've been a prolific
screenwriter with a special interest in thriller and fantasy
screenplays for the past few years. Most of the influences I grew up
to, in terms of films, were coming from the fantasy realm (Tim
Burton, Georges Lucas, Dario Argento, Hammer movies...) and helped shape my
vision as a writer.
More recently and after focusing on biopics, some
very painful personal events propelled me to write more and to go
back to my fantasy roots, into a world where everything seems
possible.
I usually write 2 screenplays a year, but with these
painful moments, I was longing for more writing and creativity, and
not only accepted assignments from producers and actors but also
worked on my own spec screenplays, which is, I must confess, what I
prefer to do.
My first screenplay
written this year was a mafia/crime story quickly followed by two fantasy
screenplays, both very different from each other. Two stories I had
on my mind for a long time:
The match girl-A
dark take on Hans Christian Andersen's" little match girl".
And “The cat” a
fantasy story presently kept under wraps…(be patient you'll know
more this winter)
Once again, I've
enjoyed my journey into this parallel and weird voyage called
“writing”.
Now in serious need
of a writing pause to recharge my batteries and keep the creative
juice flowing, I have decided to take a few months off until the start of 2017
and focus on promoting and developing my projects. However I'll keep considering assignments offers during this break.
All the best,
Jordan.
