I’ve been writing screenplays for my own entertainment for quite a bit now and put together few a productions for theater and film.

If you are a marketing executive of a multinational corporation or a well funded start-up that is about to launch a break-through product/technology, you might consider convincing your investors to co-fund with you an exciting and edgy feature film that will be designed around your product. This non-traditional way of lunching your product can produce revenue and establish your product’s strong positioning in the market.

If you are a producer, below you will find a few screenplays for feature films that are available for production. All of them were placed in the Top Ten in a contest hosted by a company funded by Allience Atlantis. I can write in any genre but as you can see I love to explore human primary instincts and how they effect one’s inner world.

TESTIMONIALS (quotes from correspondence):

Award winning cinematographer M. Colmano
(produced numerous live action productions for Universal Pictures, MCA-TV, Warner Bros., Castle Rock, TriStar, MGM, DISNEY, and Twentieth Century Fox)

“I've read 30 pages of Anatomy and I must say it's intriguing so far. You seem to be rather fascinated with sex and you certainly write some provocative scenes around it. Sex with Nastasia was very racy… I'm just wondering where this is going and I'm sure I'll find out soon.”

“I actually thought it to be well written and high concept material. The character of Marek was well developed and I felt sympathy for him. As a woman I applaud your ability to get into the mind of a man. I often find that women usually stick to women as their lead characters. You on the other hand not only chose to tackle your story with a leading man, but the story was also very sexually driven and I thought you pulled it off well. It was one of the better scripts I have read recently…”

“You sure have an interesting mind. Both scripts are extremely interesting. I want to give them another read later tonight. Do you have other shorts besides the ones you sent in the original e-mail?”

“I loved your script very much… I am very interested in producing your screenplay… ”

“Olga Kostrova, in her script, “Anatomy of Loneliness” is poignant and hard-hitting. Marek, the protagonist, appears vain, superficial and power-hungry. He is someone detestable, yet attractive. Driven in his pursuit of happiness, Marek has no qualms about using others and discarding them when they are of no further use (for example, Valerie who dedicates her life trying to convince him he is in love with her).

With a deft hand and an acute eye for detail, Ms. Kostrova’s words bring Marek and the remaining cast of characters to life. Reading through her text opened a groundswell of emotions: laughter, anger, sympathy, dismay…She draws you into her story and refuses to let you go until the journey is completed with Marek’s final declaration, “I am content.” But is he?

Perhaps this is not a story about a fictitious character. The beauty of Ms.. Kostrova’s writing is that the viewer will come to suspect this is his/her own story. Be prepared to face yourself again afterwards”.
