Introduce Yourself : Sci-Fi Screenwriter by Adam Pachter

Adam Pachter

Sci-Fi Screenwriter

Howdy again, Baby sci-fi writer, just celebrated my first anniversary (of being optioned, that is) -- as many of you know, I have a sci-fi spec called HIBER, about a future America in which the rich hibernate through deadly winters while everyone else struggles to survive, in development at Amazon Studios. Also did a fun sci-fi interview with Jenna Avery at Script mag a few months ago: http://www.scriptmag.com/features/sci-fi-circuit-screenwriter-adam-pacht... which led to her follow-up on exposition in sci-fi screenplays: http://www.scriptmag.com/features/sci-fi-circuit-exploring-problem-expos... Always enjoy chatting sci-fi concepts and reading other folks' sci-fi scripts. . .as well as getting tips on those who might be interested in reading my own stuff. Two scripts that I'm currently shopping around are THE LIFE VACCINE, about a vaccine that can stop the aging process. . .but you can't control the age at which it'll kick in; and ETERNAL ME, which is kind of HER meets THE SIXTH SENSE. It's about a future in which the dead can communicate on-line, and a teenage girl who tries to bring her parents back to life. That's me. How 'bout you? Adam
