Hi folks, nice to be able to do a little re-introduction.
I'm Chris Watt, a Scotland (Aberdeen) based screenwriter and script consultant. I wrote the screenplay for the horror thriller feature film STALKER (2022) starring Sophie Skelton (Outlander) as well as the screenplay for feature film THE MIRE (2023), both of which you can find on Prime Video, Tubi, other digital services (Stalker is also on bluray/DVD).
I wrote the script for the award winning short film BRUISE, back on 2022, which played at Oscar and BAFTA qualifying festivals all over the world. I am a member of BAFTA Scotland, and recently was the Grand Prize Winner of the Shore Scripts TV Pilot Competition, with my script SOUTHBANK.
I write any genre, primarily in the dramatic comedy area, but I am currently working on a new horror film, another short and potentially an adaptation of a children's book.
As a script consultant, I have worked for numerous screenwriting competitions, as well as contributing as a script supervisor and advisor for the BFI Film Labs in Scotland, and advising numerous indie filmmakers.
Any questions, don't be afraid to connect with me.

Hi Maurice Vaughan my latest horror is a psychological/folk horror sub genre, that deals with hypnosis and potential possession. Nice lightweight material! Happy to connect!...

That sounds interesting, Chris Watt. I don't think I've seen that genre mix in a Horror movie. How's the film coming along?
