Introduce Yourself To The Group

[Ethan Cvitanic]

Hey everyone!

My name is Ethan Cvitanic and I’ve written 11 scripts. I hope to learn every single aspect of writing thrillers – especially for thrillers that have a tragic ending. Growing up I had a pet chicken I named Beef. I taught him how to swim and I would push him down the slide of our pool. When he got older he attacked me several times and we had to give him to a farm.

[P.G. Sundling]

1. P.G. Sundling

2. One script (Dropship) and one award-winning political thriller novel (The Internet President: None of the Above).

3. I want to apply what I learn to my novel, Hot Nights and Cold Wars: None of the Above 2. I write in a terse, cinematic style that makes people think of screenplays.

4. My first novel is nothing like the other millions of books because it blends a dozen different genres, tone shifts, and enough non-fiction that some readers have fact-checked me. I’m doing some unique things with my series too.

[Sue Swenson]

I’m Sue Swenson and I’ve written 2 feature film comedy scripts. I hope to learn how to build a solid thriller script given that I’ve never written this genre before but I’ve had several unique ideas for developing one during the past several years. I spent a summer picking grapes on a kibbutz in Israel. This experience inspired me to write a comedy script that takes place on an ostrich ranch.

1. Name? Karen M. Bryson

2. How many scripts you’ve written? 35+ Features and 15+ TV pilots. I stopped counting.

3. What you hope to get out of the class? I want to make an indie thriller. The story and script are the first step.

4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you? I recently became a filmmaker after years of writing scripts that never got made. I decided to make my own films instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

[Sandeep Gupta]

hi Everyone!

I am Sandeep Gupta, for real. I’ve written exactly 0.56 script. Intended to write an intense drama, and missed a few things when I set it on the page — (a) intense, (b) drama — so I feel this is a class to sort that and it tracks. Re me unusual is I just look like I have a clue.
