Just typed Fade Out on a new feature. No where ready to post yet - just the first draft. But feeling happy that I got to the end of the first one. Going to go have a beer :)

Cheers Dave!

That's such a great feeling typing FADE OUT:

I have no doubt it's another good one. Good luck with it.  8)

Logline: When a famous atheist comedian literally dies on stage, he makes a bargain with God to avoid damnation - make the bible funny.

Hysterical Jesus

Is that where the middle initial comes from?

Jesus H?

Actually that could be a title.

In Search of Jesus Hysterical Christ

Jesus H Christ!
The H stands for Hysterical

Congratulations Dave! If you pop it on these boards let us know as I'd like to check it out. In the meantime could you share a logline/synopsis?

I managed to get my first feature written this year. It's a feature version of Cyborn and I've not long since finished the second draft. Entered it into some competitions, just gonna see how it does.

I realise it's a huge budget sci-fi and therefore stands no chance of getting produced but I loved writing it. As an experiment, I'm currently trying to turn it into a novel. If I do, this will be my first novel.

Sounds fun, Dave.  You've got plenty of material to work with.

I'll keep my eye on the boards for it.

I am hoping for a Neo Noir award for it

Logline posted above. Have not written a synopsis yet.
Good luck with the novel- sounds like a cool exercise
