Why someone should take a chance on me as a screenwriter

I live in Arcadia, MO.  Although the show Resurrection is set in Arcadia, MO, there really aren't many Hollywood producers or agents here.  On a teacher's salary, it is also a little hard for me to just jump in a jet and fly to Hollywood, CA and walk the streets, so I am sending my pleas via the one method I am reasonably good at, social media.

I am a screenwriter.  I have not optioned any screenplays although I have won some accolades in a few contests: two honorable mentions in the Script category of the Writer's Digest annual competition, a top ten in the comedy category of the Exposurama contest, a fifth place with a short screenplay, and I have also published several plays.  I know, that probably doesn't impress you.

Just let me tell you that something clicked this summer, an epiphany if you will.  I thank David Trottier and his Screenwriter's Bible for that.  At any rate, something clicked and during the course of the summer, the last six weeks more like, I have written on brand new screenplay and revised another one.  I suddenly realized that I could do this if I could just find the right connections.

My two screenplays are thrilling.  I know I'm a little biased, but you really need to read them. Both are low-budget with a good chance at having a profitable return if they should ever be turned into movies.  Read them for yourself if you don't believe me.

Freak, the first of them, the one that is completely original, is designed for the type of audience who flocks to movies like TFIOS and Divergent.  The subject matter is teens in crisis although the issues in Freak go far beyond that. It deals with sexual identity, bullying, and school violence, and also family and love.  The character are dynamic, my personal favorite being the elderly grandma, who suffering from the early stages of dementia, tells it exactly as it is.  This screenplay begins with my main character failing in his attempts to kill himself and ends with a school shooting, but it's not exactly what you expect.

My other screenplay is Cut Off, a psychology thriller from page one to page 102 with twists and turns throughout.  It too is low-budget but not low-quality.  Roderick Foster is a screenwriter with major mental issues and a history of being abused by his mother.  He suffers through a messy divorce and tries to reestablish his career and destroy his wife, but he comes to learn what really is important.

My next project is a play based on Freak.  After that, I am going to revise a romantic comedy.  That's another reason why you -- whether you be an agent, producer, or management company -- should take a chance on me.  I know Hollywood is always looking for the next fresh writer.  Well, not all of them live in California.  I am prolific and a hard worker, and I think my work is fresh.  I live in Missouri.  Show me that you are willing to give someone like me a chance.
