"Patient"
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 with no communication to the outside world –– and a building full of zombies –– the unlikely team must work through their issues in order to find the will and means to survive. A 2nd Place winner in the Trapped Film Fest Exorscripts 2020 Script Competition, "Patient" is a dramatic examination of mental health and a prescription-dependent 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. |

The script was a recent Best Screenplay Official Selection in the Mile High Horror Film Festival 2020. |

"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. |
