Hi, and thank you to everyone who’s reached out so far — I genuinely appreciate it.
I’ll introduce myself briefly. I’m Karl, and I have no formal experience in writing. This all started while working on a podcast with my best friend, Mark. We got talking about dreams, and his is to direct a film. So… I sat down and started writing a screenplay.
I’ve picked up some industry basics along the way, but beyond that, I’ve just been learning by doing and getting the words down. I’ve never felt this level of confidence in something before, and I’m completely driven to help my best friend realise his dream.
As someone with dyslexia, writing hasn’t always come easily, but the feedback from the few people who’ve read my work so far has been really positive, which has meant a lot.
I’m genuinely excited for this journey and looking forward to connecting with more people who can inspire me and help keep this momentum and passion alive.
Karl

Great to meet you Karl. My brother is dyslexic and that is one tough road - especially growing up in our era's where the 80's and 90's didn't offer much support.
