Query - Crime Fiction - Feature

This feature-length crime fiction story is an edge of your seat captivating reverse murder mystery with a blend of fear and psychological terror called Jackson that I wish to submit for your consideration.

In idyllic Moribund, a Detective, haunted by her past, pursues a killer whose gruesome spree unveils a town's dark secrets, entwined with her own. Their violent clash reveals a shocking truth and the enduring human spirit's defiance of unspeakable evil.

The seemingly tranquil town of Moribund harbors a dark secret: a series of brutal murders committed by a disturbed young man, Jackson Haley. Detective Farnsworth, wrestling with her own demons, pursues him, but his manipulative tactics and her inner turmoil hinder the investigation. As the body count climbs, she unravels a tangled web of secrets, confronting not only Haley but also her own troubled past. Haley's escalating madness and the town's hidden connections culminate in a violent showdown revealing a shocking truth and Farnsworth's unexpected involvement. Despite the town's horrific history,

Jackson offers compelling characters and a deeply resonant story. Its engaging plot and theme will strike a chord with audiences of all ages, unraveling of Jackson's identity and the transformative journey that shaped his being.

Jackson's agony and Moribund's stifling hypocrisy fuel his warped interpretation of the murders, mirroring a pervasive darkness. Farnsworth's past trauma clouds her judgment, driving a relentless, potentially flawed, quest for justice. The townsfolk's hushed fears and hidden truths, a chorus of complicity, mask individual secrets intertwined with the crimes. Moribund embodies societal rot, were tranquility veils deep corruption and violence's sudden eruption.. The line between hunter and prey blurs as a troubled detective confronts a manipulative killer and her own buried trauma, uncovering a town's dark secrets in a chilling climax.

I'm an unproduced screenwriter with diverse scripts available at stage32.com/profile/1040249/scripts_screenplays. My micro-short, Hidden, garnered interest

from Mouse Productions. Boy Blue earned top marks in the Golden Script Competition. Lauren Kay recognized me as an influential author. My short film, The Dance, won the Let's Make It contest's Silver Nib Award. My debut novel, Friends, Family, and Others, received praise for its realistic portrayal. Finally, Soul Mate ranked ninth on Coverfly's Red List of top comedies. Explore my site and let me know if you'd like to review other projects.

This story is ideal for any producer looking for a low budget film and who enjoys reverse murder mysteries with a thrilling climax.

I'm a Newfane, New York native and fiction writer, driven to entertain. My career path, however, has largely involved warehouse work, though I also authored the "Higher Education" series following my master's degree.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you would like to read the full screenplay and I’ll get you a copy immediately.

Hi, Tim Bragg. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Producing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself and promoting your story. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tim Bragg

I posted in producing to reach the attention of producers on this site.

Maurice Vaughan

I understand, Tim Bragg, but that's not the way to reach the attention of producers on Stage 32. Stage 32 had a live Community Open House the other week. You can watch the recording here (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-community-open-house-webcast). It'll help you connect with producers, creatives, and industry professionals. This blog will too: www.stage32.com/blog/the-importance-of-community-and-collaboration-in-th...

I am not spending money on this.
