 At the end of May, my sci-fi dramedy script The Lepidopteran was released as a book on Amazon thanks to the competition from Dizzy Emu Publishing!!!! What I did not know was that they run the competitions back-to-back! So, when I found this out, I immediately entered my scripts The Choice and *BEEP* into the competition! When funds are ready I’ll enter two more scripts and they’ll be The Lepidopteran 2&3!! If you like the first one then you’ll get a kick out of the second and third in the series of 4 scripts in The Lepidopteran series!!! I’m so excited to see my scripts in print as a means of exposure for my company (SAPIEN FILMS) and so that people can see the extent of my writing ability! I’ve included the link to the first book below! Enjoy!!!

FILMNET Review of My Short Film Called VIRULENT

This the review of my film VIRULENT which was made in 2019 before the pandemic BUT just got reviewed by FILMNET... Enjoy!!!

FYI - HERE'S THE LINK https://press.filmnet.io/review/1702742907982x765943652764614700

 "Virulent," directed by Nathan Waire, presents a stark, thrilling exploration of despair and desperation, masterfully capturing the harrowing slide of its protagonist into criminality. The film's narrative is both intense and compelling, delving into the psyche of a loner whose life spirals out of control in the face of adversity. This grim tale of fate and consequence makes for an absorbing cinematic journey.

The cinematography in "Virulent" plays a crucial role in establishing the film’s bleak, foreboding atmosphere. Waire's use of shadow and light adeptly highlights the internal turmoil of the characters, creating an environment that is as oppressive as the protagonist's mental state. This visual styling is matched by the thoughtful pacing of the film, which allows the audience to truly understand and empathize with the loner's desperation and the unintended path he treads. Each frame is crafted to enhance the emotional depth of the narrative, pulling viewers deeper into the distressing world of the characters.

In terms of performances, the actors deliver with remarkable intensity, particularly the protagonist, whose portrayal of a broken man teetering on the edge of morality is compelling and disturbingly authentic. His interactions with the wayward girl, characterized by their bleak, morally ambiguous dialogue, add a layer of complexity to the film. The girl, both a catalyst and mirror to his descent, is portrayed with a chilling allure. The dynamic between the two leads is both unsettling and gripping, feeding into the film's exploration of human vulnerability and manipulation.

Director Nathan Waire's statement, "When all seems impossible have FAITH and push not only adds a poignant layer of understanding to the narrative but also challenges the viewer to contemplate the broader implications of the characters' actions. "Virulent" is a stark reminder of the thin lines between despair, moral choice, and inevitability, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate film as a medium that not only entertains but also provokes thought and reflection. Waire’s crafting of this film showcases a significant talent with a clear, impactful artistic vision.

HUMAN GAME COPS SCENE

I am still having difficulties with the editing app but was able to create another scene from sizzle reel script. The cops in the scene are portrayed by Brian M. Wixson aka Spock and Greg Chater!!!

Morgan's Standoff in Future Sizzle Reel

So, I finally got an older version of editing app and it works much better!!! In the scene below, Morgan (played by Adrienne Lauren) confronts the two brothers once they invite her into their home. The two brothers are played by HB Gibson and E Vincent Burrows. 

I should have more segments up in the upcoming weeks with a finished sizzle reel at a much later date.

Some Pieces of The Sizzle Reel and an Apology

I had a few issues with actors and their schedules... Then I got a video editor app that had a lot of bugs even though it was the "Master Edition" of the app. So, I tried to piece together some clips from the .mov files that were shot and below with some effects that worked and other's that failed this is what I've got so far. 

When I get a proper editor, I'll redo these clips and edit the whole sizzle reel together. Below are some of the shots we got with the actors who were available. FYI - I had to use a skeleton crew because of people's schedule so the original crew was sacrificed due to necessity. I sincerely apologize!

VIP News and HBD 🎁 to Your’s Truly!!!

 So last week, I informed some members of HG3 that the  VIP at Paramount/Showtime looked over the pitch deck and said it was “awesome”!!!! This is very encouraging because she’s the one who said that my script was “smart” and gave me a list of streaming companies to send it to!!! She also said that she would keep an “ear out” for what the studios are looking for so I am excited about what the future holds!

I am sharing this news on my birthday to keep hopes up and to tell you to aim higher… What can it hurt to try!!!
