Hello! And welcome to the launch of Let’s Write This Movie. My name is René Garcia, and this project is the brainchild of mine and my friend, Brian Glass. We’re proud to present it to you and have you come along this journey.
For several years, I had been a prolific writer with aspirations to write films. As age caught up and with more adult responsibilities, I found that I neither had the energy or inspiration to chase my dreams of becoming a screenwriter. But Brian was undeterred, and we talked about some ideas to get me writing again.
We finally settled on turning the screenwriting process into a podcast. The idea is to write a roughly 10 pages a week, post them on this site so that the public and Brian could formulate thoughts on the script so far, and then we could meet to record and discuss criticisms. In this manner, the script would be quasi-crowdsourced.
I’m not sure how smoothly this project is going to go or if I can even keep up with the pace of turning out pages weekly. Also, I’m not looking forward to sharing first drafts and allowing them to be critiqued, but I’m hoping this process will end up creating a quality script despite my misgivings.
We’re still spinning up all of the web properties, so bear with us.
With that preamble out of the way…Let’s Write This Movie!
I’ve always had a soft spot for the zombie horror genre, but while we are saturated with zombie movies, we don’t have enough zombie westerns. I wanted to correct that deficit with my film Epitaph. I don’t have the entire story and plot fully mapped out in my head, but I wanted to give everyone a rough road map of where I’d like to take us. I’ve included a preliminary synopsis below.
