The Silo


New story nearly completed, titled "The Silo".

Some creepy goings on at an East Anglian farm when a student returns for some holiday work. Quiet fields at dusk, hedgerows, a disappeared relative's history and the minutiae of grain storage all involved.

Back to School!


So, with NYC Midnight (which I've been banging on about at length) round two in the bag, and a gruelling experience at that, it's time to turn towards kicking off the screenplay work for the year.

I have a sci-fi premise that I want to develop out into a full feature script, the working title is "Hesitation". It's about the everyday pitfalls of living in a quantum state, with a bit of murder thrown in.

Having been mainly involved in either short film scripts or more recently prose, I need to put some work in on how to develop out a feature script.

So, to that end I've enrolled in the Creating High Concept Screenplay Ideas online workshop run by Screenwriters University. It seems like a decent outfit and the four week schedule covers the topics I want to go over on developing an idea through to a full script, so I'm looking forward to attending that in April.
