5 Year Plan

2015 - 2020

Screenwriter

Level of Experience 
(Intermediate-Professional) 

I have been screenwriting from 2007, beginning with computer game storyboarding (A games story boarder being my initial career goal as a late teen). I found games storyboarding to be quite overwhelming in honesty (having to learn computer games coding as part of the course, I could not keep up). 

Later on, after going through some huge life changing events I developed a huge passion for screenwriting in which I have developed many feature length screenplays, 3 series and many shorts. 
I have been applying for funding, but have realized that I would need more experience in the field of directing, production and editing before going through with directing any of my own films. 
I will continue to write screenplays till my very end, finding new methods and techniques as film evolves, growing to adapt and create new methods/narratives/stories.

5 Year Plan - Screenwriter 

  • 2015 

  • 2015 Education & Research: I will continue to self-educate by reading and giving reflective feedback on screenplays sent to me by others (who request proofreading/editing).Through this I will be learning from other writer’s techniques and mistakes which will help me to become a more improved writer in the future.I have been using resources available at my university in order to gain further understanding of this career role. Research consists of reading screenplays on the B.F.I archives (http://www.bfi.org.uk/archive-collections/introduction-bfi-collections/exploring-collections/special-collections) and researching and keeping up to date on screenplay news via the B.F.I on (http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/scripts-screenwriters), I will also follow closely other links such as BBC’s Writers room (http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/ ) and 

  • 2015 Skills & Development: I am currently experienced in writing Drama, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Action, Political, Awareness, and Comedy genres within screenplays. I will try my hands on writing romance (possibly as a mixed hybrid with one of my stronger writing genre preferences). I will continue writing in order to take my screenwriting abilities to the next stage (The level of being recognized nationally as a screenwriter) where I could further display my creative writing abilities.I try to keep my writing skills in form by regularly writing short films (For Abby Jones Productions, which are then entered into competitions) and practicing other exercises – brainstorming, writing from themes/genres randomly chosen from a hat and watching British and American T.V shows (UK and US being my main focused target audience in this time being).Meeting new people, talking and listening has helped to reflect on my character developments and dialogue/action within my screenplays so has reading books and newspapers (which helps me develop original narratives, plots, twists and interesting storylines).I will continue to write screenplays till my very end, finding new methods and techniques, evolving along with film, growing to adapt and creating new, fresh and original methods, narratives and ways of telling stories.I have recently completed the final episode (Season 1) of my ‘Doctor Dark’ idea. This idea is a main part of my input towards the Summer Show (in which I am going to be showcasing the first episode of ‘Doctor Dark’. 

  • 2015 Financial goals: I am currently in the process of seeking funding for the following screenplays; 'Generation Of Mutants: Raptors Redemption' (Feature length Franchise – High level funding needed- http://marcus_springer.ideastap.com/Media/70bba8ff-9b8a-4b9f-a419-a2ec01109b8a/gom-generation-of-mutants-raptors-redemption , https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/generation-of-mutants-raptors-redemption - this campaign needs to be remade & http://www.filmproposals.com/raptor-new-world-revolution-independent-film-pitch.html#ixzz1mwMC7tih), 'Doctor Dark (Season 2, consisting of 12 Episodes - Mid-Low funding requirement), and 'P.O.V: Poverty Of The Valiant' (12 episode series which will potentially cover 8 seasons between now and 2025) – the latter ‘Doctor Dark & /P.O.V’ have incomplete campaigns which I will finalize within a few weeks.In this very moment funding is not the main goal as my main goal this year is to build up a reputation and be recognized enough to the point I can be considered a successful screenwriter.

Director

Level Of Experience 
(Intermediate) 

I have been able to see myself through to my final year of university, build my network/connections within the film industry and getting involved in as many projects as possible - including a freelance film company ‘Abby Jones Productions’, and my own freelance film company ‘Saviour Mediatricks Entertainment/Enterprise’. 

I have been inspired by many Director/Screenwriter (hybrids), into directing my own screenplays (instead of selling them off). 

This is because I would want to have full control of the visual aspect within filmmaking (preferring not to make too many unnecessary changes to my own stories). 

I have been trying to improve and hone in on my filmmaking skills and knowledge required to become a director via university and self-practice. 
I have had to opportunities to direct my own shorts with ‘Abby Jones Productions’, in which we have entered into competitions...
