Introduce Yourself to the Group

[Andy Silverman]

My name is Andy Silverman. I’ve written over 20 screenplays and currently have a horror comedy film I co-wrote and produced called Cyst playing in theaters in Japan and is available in the US VOD and on Amazon.

I hope to elevate the horror aspect of the current screenplays I’m working on.

I used to design board games and had an agent and an interview with Milton Bradley.

I have written seven screenplays and about a dozen spec teleplays.

Looking to be able to add the horror genre to my writing and create relatively low budget scripts in an effort to attract producers.

4.I used to do the same job as Nicole Kidman at the United Nations in New York.

[Gabrielle Nehring]

Name – Gabrielle Nehring

Written – Several features and a few shorts.

I hope to learn a faster, more streamlined way to write scarier horror.

I have a tendency to backasswards my way into pretty much everything I do, but it always works out in the end. 🙂

Nice to meet you all.

A kick ass scary and completed screenplay.

[John Hughes]

My name is John Hughes

I’ve yet to write a script, though I hope to do so with this class.

I’ve been fascinated with horror since watching Halloween as a young child back in the mid 80’s, and I’d like to bring my imagination and thoughts to others.

I have the ability to start 1000 projects and complete 1.

[Madison Stine]

Hi everyone, my name is Madi Stine. I’ve written two features and a few shorts. I hope to build out my horror-comedy premise while learning an efficient approach to writing future horror scripts. One unique thing about me is that I’m an avid knitter! Looking forward to going through this course with you all 🙂

[Mark Ritter]

Mark Charles Ritter

I’ve written five feature scripts and one binge worthy TV show.

The prime antagonist of my SciFi~Adventure TV show is a literal monster, who uses horror and terror to achieve his goals. I want to learn to write him in a way that continually freaks me out… for five years.

I’ve never liked horror movies, ever since Frankenstein freaked my young shit out as a four year old. Well, actually Stanley Kubrick and Mel Brooks helped in my partial recovery. Maybe I’ll change 💩

[Judith Watson]

Hi, Judith here. I live in Southern California. I love movies, thriller my favorites then Horror with comedy next and then drama. I want to get the skeleton of a good horror film in this class and want to enjoy myself as I do. I love dogs and an intrigued by Basenjis.

[Howard Bushart]

Hello, everyone. I’m Howard Bushart. I am a teacher and have written and published non-fiction and short-fiction and poetry. I have also written short films and documentary projects as well as classes for my addiction counseling classes at Lee College, where I teach. I have completed two feature length scripts, one thriller, one horror.

I hope to become better at screen writing in general, horror in particular.

I’m probably pretty strange but I hardly notice that.

Best of luck to all.

[Kim Jaspers]

I’m Kim Jaspers, and I’ve written five feature-length screenplays over the past ten years or so, several shorts, and a television pilot. My goal in the course to strengthen my understanding of horror conventions and write a killer script.

[Dan LoBrace]

Hey everyone. I’m Dan LoBrace. I’ve written about a dozen scripts; used to write comedy but pivoted into horror a while back and haven’t looked back. I have three horror features written.

I’m hoping to become a master at writing horror.

My last job was writing for an entertainment news outlet, where I often wrote about true crime stories that were more disturbing than any horror film I’ve ever seen.

[Brandyn Cross]

I’m Brandyn Cross

I’ve written around 20 screenplays and over 100 TV episodes.

i am hoping to refine my knowledge of the horror genre specifically because it’s a bit outside of my standard areas of focus.

Strange or unusual, huh? Well, I’m a recording artist / songwriter and recently had a #1 song on the Worldwide Independent Hot 100.

[Lisandro Boccacci]
