Nicholas Horwood: Screenwriter in York, United Kingdom.

Greetings. My name is Nick and I'm an award-winning screenwriter from the UK, who's just relocated to Yilan City, Taiwan. I'm hoping to connect with filmmakers in, or near, Taiwan.

(As a side quest, I'm on the look-out for a co-writer with Hollywood aspirations; a professional, or semi-professional, screenwriter with feature credits or significant award wins.)

Good luck with all your projects.

Write on!

I live in Bath and run a business that sells hundreds of thousands of second hand books all around the world. For the last few years I have been developing a screenplay from my memoir of the sixties, The Survival of the Coolest. Although it's based on the memoir, it's become a fiction in which historical figures like Charles Darwin (my great great grandfather), Charlie Mingus and Bertrand Russell have small parts. The logline is "The Evolution of a Man". Peter Samuelson, the Hollywood Producer, wrote this after reading the script: “It seems to me not only a very well-done script but also a film with Something To Say that is very right-now. It speaks to me about addiction, about young people escaping their parents and about Cambridge in the ‘60′s (I was, after all, there). And it’s about love and the Meaning of Life but profoundly and not daftly. Really, a wonderment, I thought. And interesting and relevant now.” I've just completed the nth rewrite addressing notes I got from respected sources, mainly to make it less "episodic". I have a producer in London, but am looking for ways to get some movement.

Hi there. My name is Nick Horwood and I'm an award winning UK screenwriter. Earlier in the year I won the Grand Prize in Final Draft's Big Break contest, winning my second trip to LA courtesy of Big Break; and leading to me gaining representation with Magnet Management. I am currently developing a number of feature projects in various genres. I joined STAGE 32 to connect with other filmmakers from around the world. I am particularly interested in connecting with LA based screenwriters at the same stage of their career as me, for possible collaborations.

Hey Nick, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hey Nick, We're very proud to bring to the Stage 32 community an exciting and exclusive event: Rex Pickett - My Life on Spec: The Writing of Sideways. This 6 part series explores the twisted, obstacle filled path Rex travelled while nurturing Sideways from conception to screen. Rex's tale is alternately inspiring and heartbreaking, filled with the highs and lows, the self-doubt, and the paralysis associated with surrendering control of your talent, which should be relatable to any artist. We thank Rex for this exclusive series! It's a gift to the entire Stage 32 community. The intro to the series is live right now. Check it out here. PS - Stage 32 bloggers may link to our blog if they wish to share the series with their readers. Thanks!

Hi Nick, we've just added a new section to your tool bar - Resources. Here you'll find links to the best acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting resources as well as a comprehensive list of film schools and film festivals. We'll be adding new categories and links regularly. One more thing, you can now find the "Messages" link in your sidebar right under your name. Enjoy!

Hi Nick, we've just released a pretty big update that I think you'll be excited about. You can now see posts and updates by everyone in your network right on your own wall. Happy networking!
