About Rory

Aspiring Screenwriter from Scotland. Watch this space as I chase that dream.

My short script, “Fleeting Nirvana”, was sold to NYC director Mike Anthony and produced 2020. My feature DE MORAY is doing well in the script competition circuit. Perseverance is key. Currently writing a biopic on Scotland’s finest ever boxer, Ken Buchanan; I will see these two Scottish legends make it to the screen!

Unique traits: I do not give up until I've accomplished something I set out to do.
