A PEACEFUL MAN, Australia, 4min, Action/Thriller
Directed by Harrison Norris

Beaten within an inch of his life, a peaceful man has a gruesome epiphany through violence.

Director’s Statement

Hi there, I’m Harrison Norris, the writer/director/editor/producer/etc of ‘A Peaceful Man’

The short was conceived from the concept that: no matter how rational or non-violent we see ourselves, under the right circumstances we are all capable of anything; whether we know it or not. The film is a fine slice of time, revolving around the exact moment the titular peaceful man, Harper, realises he is capable of monstrous things to save himself; and his transformation into a different man entirely.

Get to know writer Brad Heisler:

1. What is your TV PILOT about?

Well, plot-wise, the pilot of Max Cobra: Dark Future is about an ex-government assassin/war hero drafted by the president to stop rogue Soviet soldiers from destroying the planet in an alternate version of 1997.

But conceptually, the show is about recreating the magic of the old 80s action movies, when heroes were effortlessly cool, the dialogue was unforgettable and immediately quotable, the effects were campy and vivid, and most importantly, the action was fun. Action today takes itself too seriously and, honestly, they just don’t write one-liners like they used to. Max Cobra: Dark Future is about fixing that.

2. Why should this screenplay be…

Watch the Short Script Reading ASCENT:

NARRATOR – Holly Sarchfield

Get to know writer Brough Hansen:

1. What is your short screenplay about?

Ascent follows the life of a little girl as she grows up and becomes a great inventor.

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

It may be a bit cliché, but I do believe that to move forward in life we must first look backwards. At its best this idea can not only lead to closure, but to a realization of our greatest potential. I think that done well Ascent and stories like it have the power to inspire someone to reflect on his or her life and discover the beginning of some new, surprising creation of their own.

3. How would you describe this story in two words?

Infinite and infinitesimal.

4. What movie have you seen the most in your life?

Probably…

Get to know writer Jennifer McAuliffe:

1. What is your TV Spec Screenplay for the TV show “Silicon Valley” about?

This spec script is about how Richard and the Pied Piper team try to dig their way out of the recent bad luck with funding, by raising their profile and networking.

2. Why does this screenplay fit into the context of the show?

The screenplay follows on directly from episode 2 of the second season and presents a plausible direction for the characters across all major and minor ongoing story arcs.

3. How would you describe this script in two words?

Typically ridiculous.
