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.
ANTIGONE 2024
Written by Massimiliano Alta
What motivated you to become a writer?
The pain or better to say the urgence to survive to a destroying pain
Starting on a blank page is not easy- where does your creativity come from?
I have many stories on my mind so at this point of my career I don’t really have any difficult with the blank page. The inspiration comes from my real life or from the life of persons I know.
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 of course, and for this reason I’m trying to produce films by myself.
What is your dream for this project and what other ancillary revenue do you think it could generate? Please include script title in reply.
ANTIGONE 2024: The dream is to win the Oscar and I think it could generate a lot of ancillary revenue with gadgets and marketing. I’m thinking t-shirts, to calendar and so on.
How has your experience been with screenwriting contests for this project so far?
Fine.
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?
I would like to help them understand that dreams can come true and that good, high-quality cinema is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is not something intended only for the elite, but can touch the soul and the hearts of the general public. It will generate profit—not losses—for all investors who wish to participate in the project’s production.
