Jeffrey Lee Contreras
Texas Metaphysician branching out

Hey everyone! My name is Jeff, I am a non-fiction author who is branching out into the fiction arena with the intent of making metaphysical concepts easy to understand.

I have a script and I am here hoping to find the polish that could make it palatable for large audiences.

Tod Brilliant

Imagine what Crowley could have done if he'd been just a little more approachable. ;) Kidding. Hi, Jeffrey!

Hello to all

Hi everyone.

Exciting times.

I'm currently pitching my latest Screenplay "FLEE" a biopic historic adventure seen through the eyes of an eight-year-old girl Maria, as her family lives, adapts, fights, and flees the brutal Russian suppression of the 1956 Hungarian uprising.

I have high hopes for this one.

Navya la Shay Thanks, fingers crossed one of my irons strikes.

Gift Rogers

I pray you get the funding you need for the film

Robin Gregory

Congratulations, Simon Hartwell! Sounds like a fabulous project.

Simon Hartwell

Gift Rogers thanks Gift.

Simon Hartwell

Robin Gregory Thanks, Robin. I'm optimistic with this one given that it's topical/current, biopic and the right time to tell the story.

Nearly forgot...my second project is a sci-fi feature film, so far. That one came about from my fascination with ancient archeology, UFO's, and ancient astronaut theory, the translation of some of the Sumerian tablets cemented the rest of it. Sumerian mythology. What if what we know as human history...
