About Colin

STEM background, corporate technical writer for multiple decades. Writing scripts is a lot more fun.

Note that all my short scripts can be used free of charge by filmmakers provided I explicitly give permission and retain a "Written By" credit. You can read my short scripts "The Last King of America" and "The Wedding Dress" on Stage32 under loglines or at colinmummeryDOTcom. The PDFs for other shorts are not posted because they are either competing in a competition or being considered for production. Let me know at colinDOTmummeryATyahooDOTcom or through stage32 messaging if you'd like to read any script (including features).

Unique traits: I don't expect to make money out of writing, I'll be happy with the writing credit.

Gender:
Male

Height:

Fade In Pro is the screenwriting software I've been using for over a decade now. It has never let me down and never prevented me from getting exactly what I need in a finished script. I recommend it.

Love it or hate it, there's a lot of good ideas in this book. At least he doesn't waffle on about the hegelian dialectic. RIP Blake Snyder.

OK, not actually me but I like the idea.
