Have been keeping the news bottled up, but happy to announce this morning that I've signed a shopping agreement for Regression Test! Tons of work with my legal team to get here and thrilled to know that the producer is taking it out next week!

While sitting at the back of the Curran Theater in San Francisco, taking in Phantom of the Opera on opening night 1993, I thought, "What a beautiful place to carry out a horror story..." so I went ahead and wrote it 30 years later.

Tell us about the murky origins of your first proper script? (the first one you're kind of happy with)
Was it an article? An old story? A scene from another moving that sparked a 'what if?'
Inquiring minds and all that...

After viewing Brian De Palma's Blow Out, make sure to watch Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation.
Later, dive into an excellent analysis: cinephiliabeyond.org/the-co...
