Hi all, I'm Mario, a husband, father, Mr Fix-it, former self-defence instructor who now focuses on boxing.
I have been writing on and off for over 30 years and as you do, I have learnt a lot from it.
Lately my aim was to write something that pretty much wrote itself and was low budget, (which I did) and inspired by movies like, 'Bowfinger' and 'Dolomite is my name,' that could be filmed yourself if need be with a bunch of enthusiastic people.
Upon entering a handful of screenplay competitions, I have made it twice to the quarterfinals for my screenplay, 'Punch Kid.'
Because of my fondness to this project and the bursting amounts of ideas, I have also written its sequel, 'Punch Kid Punch.' and converted them both into audio!
I can't wait to continue this journey and see where it takes me.
Unique traits: Can make or fix pretty much anything.
Punch Kid Budget: $5M - $10M | Drama With the help of a washed-up boxer, a young boy focuses on boxing to overcome the pain of his mother's violent death, so he does not follow in his father's abusive footsteps.
