Los Angeles - My screenplay, Hamilton, was just declared and "Official Finalist" in the 2011 Hollywood Screenplay Contest in the Biography and Historical category. See listing here.
The Story:
ALEXANDER HAMILTON |
Hamilton is the
revealing action-adventure story of the brash 20-year-old soldier-patriot,
Alexander Hamilton who will stop at nothing, including threatening to overthrow
Congress, to secure his place in history during the American Revolution.
Early Coverage:
SCRIPT SHARK COVERAGE:
"It’s pretty clear this isn’t a first draft. The
descriptions are concise and clear.
The dialogue manages to evoke a time long since past without sounding
stilted and archaic and the writing manages to balance the action scenes with
the character moments. It’s easy
to see that there’s a lot of talent behind this script."
I am quite proud of this recognition by the Hollywood Screenplay Contest as I researched the story over a period of four years and the screenplay took about another year to craft. I believe there are great stories within our nation's founding that if, told well, will connect with a modern audience. And that is what I believe this honor represents.
