What is your screenplay about?
When a group of InstaSnap addicted Crazy Rich Kids ignore warnings not to go to the haunted Gomen Island, fun soon turns to horror when an activated augmented reality game forces them to #PlayOrDie
What genres does your screenplay fall under?
Horror
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
I think an audience would find it thrilling, scary and an entertaining night out/in, plus with all the tech stuff I think it’s really ‘now’ and is perfect for its natural audience.
How would you describe this script in two words?
Creepy horror.
What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
Silence of the Lambs
How long have you been working on this screenplay?
Since January this year.
How many stories have you written?
5 feature screenplays, 1 TV pilot, three novels, 1 stage-play.
What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the most times in your life?)
Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac – or pretty much most other songs by Fleetwood Mac.
What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?
Time poverty – I was supposed to be finishing my second novel…
Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
Animal Welfare/Rescue, particularly dogs.
You entered your screenplay via FilmFreeway. What has been your experiences working with the submission platform site?
I think it’s a brilliant tool. So useful to see so many amazing film competitions/festivals you probably wouldn’t hear about otherwise.
What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings on the initial feedback you received?
I thought it would be absolutely brilliant to hear audience feedback. It’s so key to hear this and often you don’t hear it until the very end of the filming process (when it’s too late to change it!). The initial feedback we received from the festival readers was very encouraging.
