1. What is your novel about?

We’re all on a journey to “become,” to see what we might be capable of, what our futures might hold. This novel focuses on what happens when everything you’ve worked for in the struggle to define “who you are” might be ripped away forever.

Get to know writer Greg Smith http://gregsmith-writer.weebly.com/:

1. What is your novel about?

Capt. Kramer, USMC, while deployed to Afghanistan rescues a dog from the streets of a nearby town after a devastating car bomb attack. Kramer’s troops take to the small dog instantly and name him Shadow because he never leaves Kramer’s side, and also give him the rank of corporal. During the remainder of the deployment, Shadow soon learns the ins and outs of ‘serving’ in the Marine Corps and becomes a very efficient guard dog. His baptism under fire comes the day Kramer takes him along on a routine patrol that quickly turns into an ambush and escalates to a major firefight that has Kramer and Shadow almost killed. The battalion rotates home and Kramer and Shadow finish their recuperation…

1. What is your novel about?

An unlikely mix of people, thrown together by the LA Earthquake, 1994.

A story about a phoney ghost-hunter show… and a dog that looks like a panda.

Funny, moving

Novel performed by actress Val Cole

Get to know writer Sam B. Miller II:

1. What is your novel about?

The Chrysallaman Empire has colonized every habitable planet in the galaxy, ruthlessly exterminating any sentient race that dared object to their benevolent conquest. Now they have completed a six month exploratory mission on Earth and found it to be an ideal colonization planet with a temperate climate, vast water reserves, lush vegetation, and a ruminant population of semi-intelligent animals called humans who pose no threat to the superior technological, mental, and physical strengths of the mighty Chrysallamans. In fact, when ground into a gritty paste, the humans are quite tasty. By sheer luck, the humans disable one of the Chrysallaman spacecraft in 1947 at Roswell, New Mexico, and capture a Chrysallaman youngster vacationing with his father. Humans have only 65…

Watch SYMPOSIUM, Short Script Reading:

CAST LIST:

NARRATOR – Becky Shrimpton
WOMAN – Fran Townend
SERVICE MAN – Sean Ballantyne

Get to know writer Tom Grady:

1. What is your screenplay about?

“Symposium” is about a very lonely woman who enlists a serviceman to make sense of the sudden appearance of a large appliance in her living room.

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

This script has made many people laugh, and laugh hard only to have the wind taken out of them by the ending. I got very excited indulging myself in the word play of the woman, just being silly and absurd. I also wanted to make this very cinematic and draw attention to our new normal, our selfie society, that we only feel secure when we feel we’re in control of our image—and this is of course a folly. In this regard, I…

ALAYAS – Sean Ballantyne
MARK/MARDALE – Peter Nelson
VOICE OVER – Becky Shrimpton
Steven – Bubba

Get to know the writer Joshua Collins:

1. What is your screenplay about?

In short, the film is about a lethal obsession and how it can alter a persons perception of their world. As well as a very uncovered subject matter(in film)–aero-technology.

But overall, the experience might leave (hopefully) wondering/discussing idea’s that have never crossed their minds regarding aero-technology and energy sources.

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

Considering the state of our world’s condition and the struggle we find ourselves trying to right a very evident problem, the film is a different look at what is more than possible (via-solutions). It also gives light to the ‘why’ on more than one occasion, but utilizing a fun and…
