I'd like to introduce myself again... My name is Haylee Hemphill and this is my story.

I was in a horrific crash that happened 5 years ago, it changed my life forever. Physically, mentally, emotionally. There was a time they didn't know if I'd even be able to walk again. While I was bed bound for 6 months, I remember screaming and crying that I just wanted to die. I couldn't take the pain and frustration. The anger consumed me. Why me? I'm not even sorry for all the posts about my script... Here's a long one so, strap in‼️ When the crash happened 5 years ago, it changed my life forever. Physically, mentally, emotionally. There was a time they didn't know if I'd even be able to walk again. While I was bed bound for 6 months, I remember screaming and crying that I just wanted to die. I couldn't take the pain and frustration. The anger consumed me. Why me? As time went on I thought it would get easier, but relearning how to walk was no easy feat. Learning how to cope and manage the new life I never asked for, was draining. However, in the process of it all I learned to appreciate the little things in life. I learned to never take anything for granted, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. I learned that I had strength I never even knew existed within me. The one thing that got me through, was writing. I poured my emotions out through poetry. It was the only way I knew how to cope with everything. When I finally reconnected with the amazing man that saved my life, our energy was unmatched. He inspired me to tell our story as a way of healing. We came up with the idea of a movie. Go big or go home, right? He then bought me the software to begin writing and I took off instantly. Completely invested for 3 months straight. I had no clue what I was doing, but I knew I had to do it. The process wasn't easy. Reliving the worst experience of my life with every word was mentally exhausting, but I fought through just like I did with everything else. Fast forward to today.. The script I poured my all into has blew up and made it's way to HOLLYWOOD‼️ I couldn't be more proud of myself. I've endured more than I could've ever imagined, but I came out on top and I'm not stopping now. I can't thank everyone who has supported me, enough. Stand by.. the big screen is loading.

Hi everyone,

My name is Mykyta Lisovskyi, I’m a screenwriter from Ukraine. I’ve recently completed my second feature-length horror script — Silence of the Forest 2: Step into the Jaws of Darkness — a standalone sequel to my previous project.

Genre: Horror, Thriller / Suspense, Psychological Thriller,...

Hi everyone,

Genre: Horror, Thriller / Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Action Horror, Creature Feature, Gore / Survival.

Logline:

More than half a year after the bloody events in the forest, Mykyta, one of the survivors, returns to end the horror that still haunts his life.

But in the depths of the cave, he discovers not just traces of the past — an entire army of creatures sleeps beneath the ground, ready to awaken at the slightest sound.

Synopsis:

The story takes place several months after have passed have passed since the bloody events in the forest. Mykyta, one of the survivors of the massacre in the forest, tries to return to normal life, but to suffer from recurring nightmares. He sees fragments of the place where his fellow students were killed, sees the cave, blood and dozens of burning red eyes again and again.

Mykyta decides to return to the forest to find the creature’s lair and destroy it once and for all. Eventually, he discovers the entrance to the cave from his nightmares. Deeper inside the cave, he finds a large underground hall filled with dozens of dormant creatures. He realizes that what they encountered earlier was only one of many.

I’m looking to connect with producers, directors, and fellow creatives who are interested in atmospheric, character-driven horror with a survival edge.

A third part of the story is currently in early development.

Open to feedback, collaboration, and production opportunities.

Thanks for reading — happy to share more details or materials upon request!

A shame I skipped this year. Last year felt pretty slow compared to other years. This is good news.

Hey, Rk Epps. Hope you're doing great! What's Sammie about?

Rk Epps

It’s a horror story about a woman named Sammie who looks normal on the outside — but inside, she’s losing control to something terrifying and primal. It’s about what happens when desire and hunger completely take over who you are.

Unique Horror story and incredible theme, Rk Epps! I'm really looking forward to seeing the proof of concept and movie!

I share the same ambition as you, and I also have a screenplay that I’m sure you’ll like. Would you like to take a look at it? Maybe there could be a collaboration between us, since I’m a screenwriter...

Welcome and congrats on everything thus far! Good luck. Continue to push and get your stories out there. Rk Epps
