With another #NYCMidnight competition underway, I figured I would share my previous entry into the competition. Spoiler alert, I didn't win, but I'm still proud of the piece that I wrote!

In 2020 I launched a collaborative horror fiction podcast called COVEN. We use tabletop roleplaying games to tell ongoing stories in a realistic, 1980s setting. Check us out!

Writing an animated feature film screenplay that takes place in NYC.

Kvadrat

A feature-length documentary, Kvadrat explores the realities of techno DJing, using the example of Andrey PUSHKAREV, a Russian DJ recognized worldwide. Filmed as a hybrid between a road-movie and a music video, the film not only illustrates the festive atmosphere of techno night clubs, but also reveals the lesser known side of this profession: weeks of track selection, lengthy travel, difficult schedule. The film suggests to reconsider the stereotype of a popular musician, to find out whether the artist is happy, to ponder what’s most important to him and his audience? Shot in Switzerland, France, Hungary, Romania and Russia, the film omits the typical documentary elements: no interviews, no explanatory voice-over, no facts, no figures. The visuals and the techno music replace them, leaving the detailed interpretation to the viewer.

I’ve worked through the whole concept from initial idea incubation and financing, talent acquisition, production to distribution and marketing. Google around for Q&As on YouTube or just read the Wikipedia article in your preferred language.

Love studying screenwriting in grad school at SNHU. School has always been a personal hack for making myself be creative and productive. When money and grades are on the lines, deadlines get more meaning.
