Have you ever dreamed of writing a screenplay? A movie can be as short as a few minutes, or a full-length feature. Like any story, you’ll want to include a beginning, middle and end, with obstacles for your main character to overcome. Why not give it a try? It’s a lot of fun.

My short film FULL CIRCLE was produced by CBC Television. It screened at the Ottawa International Writers Festival and Shadows of the Mind Film Festival. The story follows a university student who is given the chance to return an act of kindness to the man who helped his family settle into their new life in Canada. Can you spot the structure? What obstacles do my main characters face?
