SEEK, 93min,. Japan Directed by Shane Kosugi Kyohei Aizawa, an assassin for a covert non-governmental espionage group in Japan called “???” or “SEEK”, is grieving over the loss of his girlfriend from a tragic plane accident.
What is your screenplay about? White Chocolate is about a female detective who, along with her male partner, has to solve the killing of a high school basketball prodigy in Yonkers, New York (near New York City). Detective Erika Gonzalez is a single mom and the daughter of a cop killed in the line of duty. Her son’s father, who proved unfaithful during their relationship, has been recently released from prison. The story focuses on Erika’s resilience in the face of personal and professional challenges, as well as the unwanted attention that comes to an attractive woman who simply wants to do her job.
What genres does your screenplay fall under? Drama, Crime, Sports.
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Erika is a character who faces so many challenges in a male-dominated profession and is constantly being tested, which makes her someone worth rooting for. Also, the basketball prodigy represents the hopes and dreams of many in a city not noted for producing famous people. Many in the community live vicariously through him, making his killing difficult for them to process. Fingers are pointed in many different directions. There’s a whodunit element to the story. Those who may be able to identify the killer before the detectives may be intrigued by the lengths to which the killer tries to avoid accountability.
How many stories have you written? Two screenplays. The other is Iceman, which is about a Black hockey trailblazer in the 1995-96 National Hockey League season. I’m also the author of four books: Breaking the Ice: The Black Experience in Professional Hockey (Insomniac Press, Toronto), the first book that told the unique stories of Black players in hockey; Call the Yankees My Daddy: Reflections on Baseball, Race, and Family; Charging the Net: A History of Blacks in Tennis from Althea Gibson and Arthur to the Williams Sisters; and Different Strokes: Serena, Venus, and the Unfinished Black Tennis Revolution. My books reside at the intersection of sports and sociology. I used to cover the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes for The News & Observer in Raleigh and the New York Rangers for Newsday in New York. The lead character in Iceman is based on Black NHL players I wrote about in Breaking the Ice.

Really wonderful to receive direct and in-depth feedback on our film!
thank you
have really enjoyed dealing with Wildsound. There is lots of personal interaction, which is appreciated. I would certainly recommend this festival. I got a real kick out of the audience responses. One even made me laugh. The interview that Mathew did with Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff in reference to a documentary they made about my wife and I – Cathy and Harry – was terrific. Harry Roseman – Grocery Shopping
I’ve been delighted to be included in WILDSound feedback for a number of editions – this time with our documentary CATHY & HARRY. I love the audience feedback, which is always generous, and from a range of folks. We had an excellent interview with Matthew who is clearly a real appreciator of film. In addition to what others have mentioned, what more can you ask?
Great Festival, excellent value and lots of additional tools to help you promote your film
One of the few festivals that offer a great selection of tools to help market your film and give publicity, podcast interview, audience feedback video and more. I’ve submitted two projects to this festival through the years and have nothing but good things to say about this festival!
SHADOWS OF THE PAST, 13min., Australia Directed by Locky Boaretto A prequel to JUMPING AT SHADOWS. Also, the origin story for the character “Agent Nixon”.
I was inspired by the Noir Sci-Fi vibe of films like James Cameron’s “The Terminator”, and also the character tragedy / fallen hero element of films like “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith”.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
I was actually very happy to hear that people not only had a positive reaction to the film, but that they also felt a genuine emotional connection with the 2 lead characters as well, which made me feel extremely relieved because I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond to all the tragedy elements towards the end of the narrative.
