Re: What's your genre(s?)

Thriller, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and one Action/Adventure, or a combo of the above. Every one of my scripts is also a Love story.

Re: What's your genre(s?)

I want to write things that make people think and, if I do it right, has some deeper meaning than what appears on the page, so I use any genre that helps me achieve that goal...but it often leads to comedy/drama with some sci-fi elements--kind of like old Spielberg stuff--only no one wants anything to do with mine.

I have written four screenplays so far: two psychological horrors, one western and one genre-blending experiment that combines science-fiction, noir and dark comedy. Genre writing is a blast because you can take certain archetypes and then filter them through your own personal sensibilities.

Re: What's your genre(s?)

Sci-fi/adventure, comedy and coming-of-age drama. I have two horror scripts too.

Re: What's your genre(s?)

Drama and Action-Thriller, so far. But would love to get into Sci-Fi, eventually.

Would also love to write a great Horror script, but honestly I'd probably not be too successful there.

Re: What's your genre(s?)

Hmmm - I have gotten paid to write sci-fi/Christian/super hero stuff, but my passion is historical drama.

Have a sci-fi, indy drama and comedy working... done re-writes on horror.

Done a couple supernatural adaptations.

Cool thread!

Re: What's your genre(s?)

This has probably been asked before, but I'm sure there's been tons of people who joined the site after the last time it was asked. So if you care to entertain the question....

What genre(s) do you write? Are there genres you wish you could write, but you suck at?

I have written most everything except horror and historical biography. I like dark (Black if I can get away with it) comedies and thrillers the best. I've sold/optioned romantic comedies, a kid's film, a very black comedy thriller, a political thriller, an indie character drama, and a sports comedy. I've done hired rewrites on a western, romantic comedies, thrillers, straight comedies, and a modern true story biography. Wow... never looked at this list like this before... I need to do a horror.
