Written by Jerrod D. Brito
Genre: Horror/Drama
Format: Feature Screenplay
Page Count: 95 Pages

Logline:
When a deadly virus confines a depressed, anxiety-ridden stoner and a sardonic receptionist to a clinic full of infected patients with no communication to the outside world, they must work together to find the will and means to escape.

A 2nd Place winner in the Trapped Film Fest Exorscripts 2020 Script Competition, "Patient" is a dramatic examination of mental health and a prescription-dependant culture disguised as a blood-hungry horror/thriller film. Pairing appropriate comedic elements, such as those found in "It Follows," and thrilling suspense like that seen in Netflix's "Bird Box," "Patient" also examines how life-or-death situations affect the tenacity of the human spirit.

Written by Jerrod D. Brito
Genre: LGBTQIA+ Rom-Com
Format: Feature Screenplay
Page Count: 115 Pages

Logline:
A modern-day fairy tale comes to life when a curse causes a young billionaire to lose everything he loves and teaches him that reclaiming his birthright and wooing 'Prince Charming' are not nearly as easy as the storybooks let on.

"Ken & Bobby" aims to duplicate the humor and charm of the recent gay rom-com success, "Love, Simon," while following the adventures of proverbial royalty, queens, fairies, and a riches-to-rags prince who chases his dreams and a storybook romance. A previous draft of "Ken & Bobby" received favorable coverage from both the International Screenwriters' Association (including a 4 out of 5 stars rating) and the Colorado Film Commission.
