Samantha/Allison Garcia
Hello Stage 32 from the Garcia Sisters!!

We are authors and screenwriters for the horror genre. We have written for children, young adults, and mature audiences. We have written features, shorts, and now we are currently working on a TV anthology series titled Monstra adapted from our book titled The Door. Fear of the unknown is our specialty. What's everybody working on? Let's connect!!

Maurice Vaughan

How have you been, Samantha/Allison Garcia? What scripts are you working on?

Sam Sokolow

Hi Samantha & Allison. I am a huge fan of your writing and your amazing creative spirit. What's the next amazing thing that you two are working on?

Wendy Appelbaum

I would love to check out your work - congrats on all your success! I was wondering when it comes to writing - as you are sisters do you find that you don't need to explain to each other as you just "get it"?

Hello

I am now on day 122 after my stem cell transplant. I spent most of the time in or near the M D Anderson Cancer Center. I am now back in FL. Time to get cracking on revising several of my scripts and writing new ones.

Shelly Battista

MD Anderson is an incredible facility, I'm glad your transplant went well. Heading back into the words is my favorite non-drug therapy! May you find lots of inspiration in your endeavors.

Wishing you a well and rapid recovery!

Be well. Being creative helps heal :)

How long should a logline be? Thank you in advance.

Ewan Dunbar

As long as it delivers on world, tone, situation of the lead character, teases the journey and stakes, you'll have most bases covered. Writing a good logline that represents what about your project will make it interesting can take a lot of re-drafting.

Maurice Vaughan

I did that with a short script, Thomas. I took "A Quiet Place" and wrote the reverse of it.

Shelly Talbot

Thank you, Evan.
