I practically jumped out of my seat when I read "I'd like to produce and direct this," beneath the synopsis in the logline section of my profile! It was awesome to learn that, FINALLY, someone wanted to produce my original 40 page paranormal horror short film titled, Angered.

It was Robert James Atton, a fellow Chicagoan, who wanted to read the entire script, so I emailed it to him post-haste. He "loved" it, and we decided to meet in person at a local coffee shop. We told each other more about our writing and film making journeys so far, and we clicked. He let me watch a recent movie he filmed with director C'iarra Cortez, and I was thrilled. Robert knows what he's doing! I knew my crazy horror film would be in good hands.

So, we agreed on an option and purchase price, and he has already gathered about six more crew members and is posting casting calls.

Angered is about Vicki Ruiz, a loving mother, who has protected her boys from the gang-violence in Chicago. But when a horrifying poltergeist grabs hold of her oldest, she and the local pastor have a new enemy to fight. However, they have to figure out what it is first!

Much thanks to Stage32 for all of the different ways to make connections on the site. On another note, the pitch sessions' feedback has greatly improved both my scripts and pitches. I'm getting higher scores on my pitches and requests from producers to read my scripts...

Again, all thanks to S32!
