Here Heather Costello, full elected BAFTA Member - Screenplay Chapter.(See Links Page (L) for British Academy of Film & Television Arts). Passionate screenwriter, I will write screenplays to commission- original or from any brief e.g. logline, idea, treatment, article, poem, novel-live action, animation, mixed media. (Any length. Any budget. All genres except hard core porn and slasher horror. I will tell you honestly if I cannot do what you want.)I am equally willing to act as 'SCRIPT DOCTOR'/EDITOR on pre-written scripts. APOLOGY.Due to my ill health, AMOR VINCIT PRODUCTIONS LTD has been dormant since 2005. Happily, I am now improving and have returned to commissioned work. AMOR VINCIT ALWAYS WELCOMES interested producers, commissioners, exec.producers. PLEASE CLICK THIS PAGE TO CONTACT.FULL DETAILS OF ALL LISTED SCREENPLAYS AVAILABLE. PLEASE DO NOT MISTAKE MY PROLIFIC ENERGY FOR A SCATTERGUN APPROACH. I AM A LONG-TERM EXPERIENCED SCREENWRITER, PREVIOUSLY A WIDELY PUBLISHED FREELANCE AUTHOR ELECTED TO THE SOCIETY OF AUTHORS IN 1988. MY WHOLE PROFESSIONAL LIFE HAS RELIED ON WRITING QUALITY TO TIGHT DEADLINES ON WIDE-RANGING SUBJECTS. New film makers, do not be afraid to apply. I NEVER WORK FOR FREE OUT OF RESPECT FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL WRITERS but my rates are totally negotiable and if your project impresses me, you would be surprised what fees I will consider having accepted tiny token fees working for under-priviledged youngsters & had work produced where the hourly rate offered astounded me. Represented by media lawyer Jonathan Groves, THE MEDIUM NEAREST MY HEART IS FULL LENGTH MAINSTREAM FEATURE FILM SCREENPLAY, but my successful commissions include scripts(short & feature) for film & t.v(live & animation) & also for stage. As indie film-maker, I wrote, directed, co-produced & funded Amor Vincit/Darren Costello romantic comedy/drama short "TORTOISE" ( storyline by Darren). Exhibited in the UK; its World Tour covered London, Toronto, New York 2002-3 with the International Festival of Cinema & Technology USA (L) It was highly praised by judges especially for production values. I AM ALWAYS SEEKING PRODUCERS FOR UK AND USA FEATURES WHO MUST SHOW TENACITY & AN EXCELLENT WORKING KNOWLEDGE. I WRITE; AUDITION CAST & CREW; DIRECT & CO-PRODUCE.- ENOUGH HATS FOR ANYONE! FEATURE SCREENPLAYS "SAM", ,"TOMORROW?", "JUST JAY" & "CAT OR MOUSE?" are near completion."WHISKEY MAC" (registered Writers' Guild of America west) & magical romantic comedy "ESKIMOS" are complete. Fictional biopic "MY GRANDAD'S COPPER PLATE"" is in Second Draft. "SAM" - character driven humorous crime/drama set London & starring Tatum O'Brien (tall one pictured right with me) " WHISKEY MAC" (character-driven multi-layer crime/drama set rural USA); "TOMORROW?" ( Irish mystical mid 90's epic set in the border war zone Eire/NI. "JUST JAY" unflinching but UPBEATadventure - accent firmly on current teenage school issues bullying, discipline & equality - humorous, mainstream with plenty of "feelgood" (no drugs or squalor);optimistic not sugar-coated "up" ending. IT STARS JAMIE YEATES (Harry Potters1-4 and Bridget Jones 2) as a teenage Robin Hood, with his feet firmly in today's lower class reality. "CAT OR MOUSE?" Low budget psychological crime horror. MY ADULT ANIMATED PROJECTS (as writer,director, co-producer) are "LIPS" (quirky adult love story short) & "AUSCHWITZ SEQUENCE" (dark, sensitive, highly original short integrating voice, art, photography, animation & music). SEE PHOTOS PAGE FOR STILLS OF "Tortoise" & "Sam". NEW INDIE FILM-MAKERS, please see LINKS PAGE before contacting me - tons of info including Screenwriters' Workshop- affordable training & SCRIPT ASSESSMENT I WRITE ALL MY OWN SCREENPLAYS. PLEASE DO NOT SEND SCRIPTS OR PITCHES TO ME FOR PRODUCTION. I reply to all film-making messages LEFT ON THIS PAGE ONLY including requests to look at a c.v.PLEASE SEND NOTHING UNSOLICITED TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS (ANTI-VIRUS DELETES)) or land address (incomplete- postie can't deliver!) I NEVER answer immigration/ legal queries. Film-making is TOUGH & OVERCROWDED but think"It's not the size of the dreamer, it's the size of the dream"-quote Joshua Ryan Evans who made a screen career from his smallnes before his untimely death at the age of 20. Good luck.Have faith. Don't quit.HC |
