My name is Caitlin or Caiti I go by either. I’m a semi-recent animation student graduate who enjoys writing screenplays and drawing lots of characters. I tend to write more on the horror side but I’m trying to expand my own writing to be able to not just pigeonhole myself into one genre.
Currently I try to submit to contests to try and get myself out there but if anyone would like to connect that would be very appreciated, especially anyone Florida based. I do have a script that has placed in a competition (semifinal) but I’m always learning and willing to learn to make my craft better.
