Hay there Co-Writer

15th April 2023

Hay there Co-Writer,

From your ad I guess you’re looking for someone with the hunger for success to help you write the second film in a horror franchise. Me, I have the endless aching hunger of the Wendigo cutting into my soul. My life itself is a horror story of that quiet nature of sadness being never truly violent but always horrific, but that’s not important.

Back in college I took a writing class, and the teacher said he’d send my work to a production company. I wrote the first draft of a film in twenty-one days and handed it in. He read it and gave me notes and I had the next draft to him the following morning. Every time he gave me notes I had the film ready for him the next morning.

He lied about sending my work to a production company. In the end, he kept talking like all I needed was to get a good grade. What are grades once you get into the real world?

Anyway, here is a link to my IMDB
 
And to two short horror films that I wrote that got made. I play the fat man.

Originally I wrote the first one as a thirty second film called “Human Suit” but the director wanted to add some gore to the thing, and so it needed some back story. As he had two young children I came up with an idea capitalizing on the available talent. I was to enter a dark room, sit down, and then it was to look as if his youngest child were an imp that crawled out of my gut as if I were a suit of some kind.

His idea of having me explode was more expensive, less creepy, and needed more back story to make it a true film. Why would an imp wear a human suit? Because imps are deceptive magical things that go about fooling people. Why would a child burst from a man’s chest? Yeah, that one needs some more explanation.

So you can have a look at what my work I’ll enclose a full length film I wrote.

Best,
