Writers Interviews, David Creighton

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.

Undying

Written by David Creighton

What motivated you to become a writer?

As a child, I had a strong imagination and a love of media. I started writing fan fiction in grade school and I never looked back.

Starting on a blank page is not easy- where does your creativity come from?

It can be hard without a motive, or a deadline, but a concept that lasts in your mind long enough to become an outline, then more, is an idea worth pursuing. Every new “what if” that crosses your mind is a chance for another masterpiece.

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?

I write in hopes of success, not in expectation of it. I’ve made a few short films to make a name for myself. Now I want to start looking to work with/for others.

What is your dream for this project and what other ancillary revenue do you think it could generate?

My first draft of “Undying” was over 12 years ago. It has never left my mind. To see it become a series, and be involved in any way would be a dream come true.

How has your experience been with screenwriting contests for this project so far?

Decent, certainly some successes, but the big contests and festivals are beyond my ability to afford entry fees. It’s sad, really.

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?

This idea is truly unique, and I have the passion to make it a reality.

Do you have any website links for your writing, credits, background, etc. that you would like to share?
