Let's Make It Two Years in a Row

It’s no joke. On April 1st, I will once again compete in the Script Frenzy Challenge. This year’s project will be the screenplay adaptation (sort of) of my unfinished second novel, Rachel and Rob Request the Honor of Your Presence. It’s the story of a couple navigating their relationship through a minefield of their friends, family, the Roman Catholic Church and the wedding industry to realize their desire to get married.

The Script Frenzy Challenge dares screenwriters to write either 100 pages of a screenplay, stage play or teleplay in 30 days. Winners receive no monetary award; just the greater glory of finishing the chaotic process on deadline, and bragging rights for 365 days that they are a Script Frenzy Winner.

Last year, I completed a sci-fi adventure feature titled Foo Fighter. It is the story of Danny Shepherd, a documentary film maker who stumbles onto a UFO crash site 12 miles off the cost of Long Beach. The story starts at the controversial Battle of Los Angeles, and then moves to modern day Southern California. Shepherd (a UFO skeptic), his best friend and partner, and a tabloid reporter are hunted by Naval Intelligence, the guardians of this secret since World War II.

This year, you can follow my progress exclusively on my Facebook fan page and Twitter Feed. It all starts on Thursday. I’m looking forward to this challenge!
