About
I was a Professor at two top 10 universities, then left to pursue writing full time. My first novel was published last year by a reputable e-publisher. In motion pictures, I have a RomCom in development with a major independent producer (being casted by agents at elite agencies), and a Dramedy which has just entered active development with my Manager, who will also be a Producer. My writing spans all types of comedy, from absurdist to wry. The script I've submitted here is a blend of absurdist and edgy humor with imbeded social commentary.
My RomCom writing partner is a script doctor at Script Shark. I have a second partner on a different project who was a television actress. I also write solo.
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, and have good access within the industry. I am repped by an aggressive, young Manager, and had an Agent until she stepped aside due to illness. As such, I'm in the process of securing a new Agent.
Willing to work with new partners, but only if you're a brilliant writer whose intensity and perfectionistic drive matches mine.
Though, in my opinion, the script is a disaster (it's not a RomCom, unlike many reviewers have specified). It's a crude, youth-oriented comedy.
That said, the story board work is fantastic. Great images, color and such. I just wish it was in service of a saleable script.
I like the concept of Breakup Artist, but not as a club or other unreal format. Rather, an individual (male or female) who counsels people who want to get out of horrible relationships, while unable to get out of his/her own lousy relationship. That could be a Hollywood project, but the characterizations and dialogue would have to be substantially upgraded from what exists here.
Just giving my opinion. I didn't view Gary's other winning storyboards, but he's obviously found a good venue for his work. To go beyond Amazon, which I think he should aspire to, not just for the greater money to be made there, but for the self-satisfaction of attaining that level, would require Gary to focus more on the story than storyboard aspect, although he's terrific at that component. Not to mention making good bucks.
