WRITER PROFILE
It’s always great to get together with a large group of writers and investors and keep up to date on what’s new, the screenplay contest, any recent deals, new dealmaker contacts, agents or managers that are looking and simply encouraging everyone to keep going after every dream in this difficult industry. For the hard working writer we want to do as much as we can to continue the exposure and word of mouth in the investment circles of the industry. Another way we do this is with writer interviews that we send far and wide and showcase at all possible meetings and markets.
We want to encourage your writing spirit, motivate you and again give you the accolades you so deserve.
Clubland
Written by Amer Nazir
What motivated you to become a writer?
To write about injustice in society.
Starting on a blank page is not easy- where does your creativity come from?
The things that keep me awake at night.
Do you write projects knowing that so many other factors need to happen to get it to screen and does that come into your project creation?
Yes, I write with production values in mind and often trim set ups in scenes knowing that a line producer has to make this work on a budget.
What is your dream for this project and what other ancillary revenue do you think it could generate?
My dream for Clubland is to make a feature that will stand the test of time and go on to become a three part movie series with a spin off TV show. The music genre of the Acid House scene is still relevant with millions of fans worldwide and a compilation album released alongside the film would generate sales.
How has your experience been with screenwriting contests for this project so far?
Entering contests with Clubland has given me the opportunity to improve many aspects of my writing, improving the cinematic experience of each and every scene.
If you could stand in a room full of investor partners looking at many projects what would you like them to know about you and this project?
They say write about what you know and I know this world, having spent seven years in Clubland. The story world hasn’t ever been led by a person of colour and this character and feature has the potential to become a franchise.
Do you have any website links for your writing, credits, background, etc. that you would like to share?
