EP. 1562: Screenwriter Wesley Steven Drent (NECROTICA)

from WILDsound: The Film Podcast · host Matthew Toffolo

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5QkTVemr88 Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? Necrotica is about breaking new ground in the sacred (but tired) Zombie Apocalypse genre. It’s about uncompromising survival, family, and finding meaning in the face of devastating loss. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Horror/Zombie Apocalypse with a healthy spoonful of Lovecraftian terror. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Necrotica is a character-driven story that flips the zombie genre on its head. It’s something new that still feels familiar. With only two characters who have a lot of speaking lines and easy set pieces, it would be a great showcase for two actors to demonstrate their character chops while being producible. How would you describe this script in two words? Festering doom.
