What Others Say about
GOTHAM SCREEN:

"GOTHAM was our big break into screenwriting. Knowing that we were optioned writers (one of our scripts got optioned following a win at the contest) opened several doors at the recent Indie Gathering in Cleveland and generated a lot of buzz about us and our fledgling production company, Devil Monkey Films."

Patrick Bates,
Devil Monkey Films

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feature Film:
"The Reason Why (Darum)" Austria 2008 - Thursday, October 30th (date & time tbc)
starring Kai Wiesinger, Anna Thalbach, Cornelius Obonya, Nadeshda Brennicke; Dir: Harald Sicheritz

Imagine you commit a murder, and nobody believes you. Think of a nice, regular person among your friends, a quiet young man. A charming, successful professional, quite sympathetic. This could be Jan. He is in his mid-thirties and works as a court reporter for one of the more respected newspapers of the country. Everyone likes him.

Now imagine you're being told that this nice, unassuming person has killed someone. Apperently in a bar, without warning, pointed a gun towards another person, without apparent reason. He tries to confess, but no one believes him...
