'Dread Flush' sample

Here's a brief snippet from a draft of my screenplay DREAD FLUSH.
I see writers posting small samples of written stories and other works a lot. While I realize this is unorthodox for screenwriters, I thought I'd give it a shot!
Thanks for reading.
Just trying to keep the nightmares real.

Some pretty exciting things have gone down and are currently going down.

BRINE screened at the following festivals: HP Lovecraft Film Fest, Rock and Shock, Zed Fest Film Festival, and Freeky Creek Film Festival and The Night of Horror Film Festival / Fantastic Planet Horror Sci- Fi and Fantasy Fest.
BRINE also received an award at the Zed Fest Film Festival for *Screen Story*. I think that's a way of saying screenplay....perhaps?

BRINE has made its way online now...so here is * Brine if ,anyone reading this, so wishes to watch it.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES is another short screenplay I wrote, that has been made into a film. This is an attempt at something a little lighter and still slightly, in the realm of Lovecraft. It screened at the Freeky Creek Film Festival in October. I'm not sure if it will be making the rounds next year to any other festivals, so here is Speaking in Tongues , if anyone would like to watch.

In other screenwriting news, my screenplay AKA MANTO: DREAD FLUSH, is a finalist in the Zed Fest Film Festival's 2015 Screenplay Competition. Somehow, I managed to get in next to some heavy hitters and talent in screenwriting and the festival circuit. Congrats to them all, as well.

Here is the link  to the list of Finalist Screenplays!!




I'm also trying another attempt at a short film, early next year. So, hopefully this will work out and we'll have a darkly funny, disturbing super short film to show anyone who is reading this, in 2016.

Thanks for reading, if you are. Have a great  whatever Winter Holiday you celebrate, if any.
As always, just typing this to keep the demons in the world and out of my mind.
