1. What is your screenplay about?
It's about a small town that is suddenly struck by a strange disease and the people who try to find out what's happening.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
I believe it's an interesting and entertaining story that could be enjoyed by horror lovers as well as those who enjoy zombie movies, and just a good, gripping story.

3. How would you describe this script in two words?
Odd zombies.

4. What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
Star Wars or The Princess Bride.

Around seven months.

6. How many stories have you written?
I've been writing and publishing books of short stories for ten plus years. My published collections of stories, including my novels, have well over one hundred stories.

7. What motivated you to write this screenplay?
A person I met on Instagram, whose horror TV network I had advertised my book on, asked me if I was interested in writing a screenplay for his idea. I agreed, and have since written a pseudo-sequel to it, along with another screenplay I had been developing.

8. What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?
Time, of course is always a factor. But I went over it many times to make sure the characters were true to their voices. The story itself came to me quite easily. I just had to revise several times looking for plot holes and inconsistency.

Photography. I live in a rural area of Pennsylvania, and have many opportunities to take landscape and wildlife photos.

I was excited to find out how good (or bad) my script really was, based on the opinion of someone who had read other scripts, with this being the first script I finished and put out into the world.
I was quite happy with the feedback I received. It was encouraging, but also showed points where I could strengthen my script. I'm always looking for helpful feedback that can help my writing improve.
