I'm having a pretty slow day and am just looking to spark up a conversation. Anyone working on anything cool? I love horror, so if anyone has something horrific brewing, tell me about it! I love listening to people talk about their upcoming projects. It can be so exciting. ~Zack~ |

I'm working on a feature for a Nigerian producer, all being well it will film in the autumn... drama/thriller.
Once I'm done with that I'm on to a period horror, set in the first world war. |

I seem to have an echo It's a creature flick set in the trenches, Brits and Germans have to work together to overcome a greater enemy sort of thing.., it's been bubbling away in my head whilst I've been writing on the paid gig... quite a good way to have it develop and percolate. |

Sounds like my kind of movie! I had an idea once for a werewolf flick set in world war 2, but I never got very far with it. I like the idea of the German and British being forced to team up. ~Zack~ |

I'm working on losing weight - does that count??? Actually, I kind of always start with titles and loglines and then debate the one I want to screw with next. I have these titles in the hopper:
- Achilles Healed
Confession is Good For the Sole Throw the Dogmatic a bone Caveat Emperor The Intekrnot In Search of Hysterical Jesus
The last one is the one that has most by interest now. The logline is something like: When a famous stand up comedian LITERALLY dies on stage, he is reincarnated as one of the Apostles with the mission of making the word of God a bit more humorous. I have a lot of notes - just not sure I can pull it off. Long winded way of saying - I am in the debate stage right now. |

Interesting approach. Not too dissimilar to my approach, believe it or not. I like that logline. Seems like that could actually be pretty funny if done right. ~Zack~ |

Ugh, I hate being the pessimistic one... I was going to quit last year, but then I optioned a feature and a short right off the bat in January 2016, so I hung on rewriting the feature. Then, I read a book that I loved and asked the publisher for permission to adapt it. They agreed and we are now working on trying to make that script perfect. Some big people involved! So, I'm still in, but I'd be lying to you if I said I'm gung-ho. I haven't watched a new movie I liked in years. I don't really watch TV shows either. I guess I just have lost interest in this business. I go to the grocery store and can't avoid the tabloids, but I have no clue who the people on the covers are... I still love SS and owe everything regarding to screenwriting to SS. I'm just losing interest in films and TV. There's a whole world out there that I find much more interesting. |

I've been wanting to write a really dark dystopian novel for some time. For about the last three weeks, I've been putting it together. Beyond that, I mostly spend my time with After.Life these days. |

That's great, Pia. Don't give up on the movie business though, you just might be the spark it needs. That sounds interesting, Sean. Is it going to be a feature? ~Zack~ |

I haven't written anything in quite some time. Unfortunately, when I try I just end up staring at a blank page for two hours. I guess I just don't have anything to say at the moment. |

I'm working on two shorts, one is called Boardroom of Gods and the other Verification Process. Both are black comedies with a religious angle. I seem to write a lot of these. |
