cassandra_3

Two thieves infiltrate a besieged medieval city, in order to retrieve an artifact. They thought they had nothing to lose. They were wrong…

Director’s Statement

I am convinced that medieval fantasy films, still a more or less young genre in theaters, will evolve the same way cop movies have evolved in the past. Several decades ago, cop movies were very simplistic, being about good cops against evil gangsters. Then with time, we got more mature stories, with a much blurrier line between good and evil. That has given us amazing movies likes Chinatown, like Heat, like Memento, like LA Confidential…

Until now, most fantasy movies have been often simple and manichean : in order to follow a prophecy and/or to avenge murdered…

1. What is your screenplay about?

Walk with the Devil is a supernatural drama in which a young sex slave must choose between kidnapping a girl for her pimp or suffer his vicious abuse — all the while fully aware of the Devil’s eyes on her, waiting for her fall.

2. Why should this script be made into a movie?

The script should be made into a movie because it presents a universal moral dilemma (i.e. using others for one’s own interests), an unusual female character as protagonist (an abused prostitute) and it has a unique setting (a Sicilian…

Wildsound was more than I expected. After my initial entry, they made some great suggestions on improving the script. I took their advice, made the adjustments and resubmitted the pilot.

Interview with Sean Ballantyne, Batman Fan Fiction Screenplay Winner

WILDsound Festival's avatarFAN FICTION Film and Writing Festival

Watch the Winning Fan Fiction Screenplay of Batman “Joker’s Vendetta”:

Interview with the winning writer Sean Ballantyne by Matthew Toffolo:

Matthew: What motivated you to write this Batman Fan Short Script?

Sean: Practice, and fun, really. I had an idea to write a fan-film and cram it with all the references I could to see how far I could go without derailing it. Ultimately it was a great exercise in scripting.

Matthew: What is this script about?

Sean: I was kind of going for a theme of duality. Each major character has two lives that they live, there are two angles to everything etc. It’s not entirely evident in the end result, but my ability to write thematic explorations wasn’t as evolved back then.

Matthew: What Batman universe…
