Introduce Yourself : Screenwriter, author, director, middle aged comedy rapper by Daniel Finkel

Screenwriter, author, director, middle aged comedy rapper

Hey everyone,

It may sound cliché, but if you keep working hard, you will get better. I’ve been writing screenplays for 25 years, and this year I feel like my writing truly leveled up. In fact, my latest screenplay Freaks of the Full Moon earned a double recommend from Stage 32 in August.

I think part of this growth comes from all the other writing I’ve been doing. During the pandemic, I adapted one of my screenplays into a novel, Mr. Taffle’s Pants of Insanity, and that book went on to win multiple awards. Now my second book, Brain Pickle, will be published this October.

On top of that, I’ve just finished a brand-new screenplay, a thriller/dark comedy called The Gang Stalk, and I honestly believe it’s my best work yet.

So to my fellow creatives here: keep pushing forward. The work you put in will pay off!

Hey, Daniel Finkel. You're right. You keep working hard, you'll get better. It's been that way for me with loglines, scripts, pitching, and more. Congratulations on Freaks of the Full Moon earning a double recommend, finishing The Gang Stalk, Mr. Taffle’s Pants of Insanity winning awards, and Brain Pickle getting published soon! Unique titles! What's Freaks of the Full Moon about?
