PAGE Awards for two of my scripts!

double

Some days, good things do come in pairs. Two of my scripts made the semi-finals of the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards:

MR. UNLUCKY – a 21st century fairy tale about leprechaun gangsters, true love, breakfast cereal and the unluckiest guy in the world.

1-800-SUPERHERO – an hour-long TV pilot about a Regular Joe trying to survive high school at super-powered Cosmic City Central.

Screenwriting Expo puts 1-800-Superhero on “the list”

Good news: my action/comedy screenplay 1-800-Superhero made the Top 25% of the big Screenwriting Expo contest.

This was an idea I originally wrote as a TV pilot, and I was having so much fun playing around with these characters in the world of Cosmic City that I decided to write a movie script as well. Plus, as you can tell from the name of my website, I might have a bit of a Superhero problem.superhero ad

But enough about my issues. Here’s the logline for the movie:

In Cosmic City, there are only two ways for a Regular Joe to break into the Superhero business: land a minimum wage, entry-level job at the 1-800-Superhero Corporation or hurl yourself into a bubbling vat of toxic waste. Joe decides to try both.
