Screenwriting : Revenge thriller by Francisco Castro

Nice Francisco Castro what inspired you to write Outcast?

Thanks, @PatAlexander. What inspired? My nieces.

Good word

Francisco the part that grabs me is three women who each carry a different relationship to violence walking into the same mystery. The deputy works inside the system. The Interpol agent crosses borders to chase it. The woman with the dark past has already lived it.

That is three engines pointed at one town and none of them trust the others yet. The Kill Bill comparison makes sense but the convergence is the part that feels fresh.

Reading that your nieces inspired it changes the whole thing for me. The revenge is loud but the why underneath sounds quiet. What is that town to these three before they ever meet.

Outcast has real bones three women, one mystery, a town built on rot. That's a compelling engine. Where are you in the script process?"

Thank you, Amry Lucy. The producers/financiers are out to cast.

Thank you, Eric Charran, for your comments. The town is a way station for the three woman, the nexus where their paths are fated to change and are irrevocably connected.

Well done Francisco. Can you tell us a little about how this project made it this far?

Thanks, Richard Buzzell. It's been a long slow slog, but the script got the producers of RUSH HOUR, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA and ABOUT SCHMIDT attached, then a financier and now a director. We're out to cast.

Love the "John Wick meets Kill Bill" angle Francisco. The three women from different backgrounds hunting in one small town creates instant tension. Question: What makes this Pacific Northwest town itself a character? The best revenge thrillers like Wind River use the setting as pressure. Congrats on attaching producers from Rush Hour - that’s huge.

Hey Francisco. I believe the part of it being a long slow slog. How did you make the connection with the producers?

My manager sent it out to producers and my script landed two producers. The script went through a few rewrites before it landed a director.

Thanks, Junior France Mavie NGAKOSSO. The town is secluded, controlled by one man and is located just a few miles from the Canadian border which makes it a great distribution point for drugs and human trafficking.
