About Daniel

As a creative, I find myself in helpless thraldom to the irresistible allure of all that is dark and macabre in movies (and TV, literature, art, and news - one has to take the total package!) Be it psychological mind-f**cks, vomit-inducing gorefests, VHS Video Nasties, or vintage Hammer epics, I love every component of the black rainbow that the horror genre basks in, avidly consuming all and discriminating against none.

With a heart and soul tainted by such wickedness, it is through screenwriting that I find catharsis via this craft I adore. What some may see as constrictions in writing for the screen, I wholeheartedly embrace, calling upon my twisted powers of imagination to overcome the challenges associated with this art-form. I have sought to achieve this by honing a very vivid, visual style in my own particular and pithy approach to script writing (Walter Hill's terse style I often strive to emulate).

As a writer and producer, I am bent toward the ostensible straight jacket of ultra-low-budget filmmaking, extracting every last drop of goodness possible from the limited resources at my command. To this end, I have put together a diverse ensemble of largely self-contained, low to ultra-low-budget feature-length screenplays. These serve as an unholy testament to my ethic of practical chastity and inventive mindset.

I have also completed several freelancing script reading assignments, for individuals, production houses, and script consultancies. These include Size 9 Productions, Script Angel, Bang2Write, and South Film Expo. It is a great joy and privilege to be privy to the writing styles of my resplendent and eclectic peers. I am always eager to collaborate with those looking to realise their creative visions.
