Linecker Da Silva: Director and screenwriter in Boston, Massachusetts.

Hi Linecker, Thanks for the connection. All the best.

My name is Linecker, I’m a 28-year-old Brazilian-American in Boston, seeking a long-term writing partner for several artistic collaborations. My focus is predominantly on screenwriting and creative writing (short story, fiction, nonfiction), but my passions overlap into other related mediums (filmmaking, directing, editing, music and lyric-writing, comics). I’m excited by most literary genres, though it takes a particular treatment of Sci-Fi/Fantasy to sustain my enthusiasm. I’ve been agonizingly trying to establish a sort of discipline in approaching, developing, and ultimately finishing projects, and believe that connecting with another dedicated writer could motivate me to work more efficiently. Best case scenario would be for that to go both ways in the partnership.

I graduated from UMass Lowell in 2015 with a BA in Creative Writing, I’ve not been published since, and have only a few completed projects under my belt, all at different stages of wonkiness. I’ve endured for too long a self-imposed crusade in attempting to accomplish everything by myself. I’ve been slow to embrace the part of me that thrives on bouncing my ideas off others, and building upon the germs of ideas presented to me, as opposed to conjuring everything from start to finish alone. Nonetheless, there will be times when I’d imagine the latter to be the case, and the function of the partnership consigned to feedback, editing, brainstorming, etc. but not a shared writing credit. Not every project need be a joint odyssey, we can feel it as we go along. Yet I do look forward to working closely on mutual projects and sharing the load of responsibility from their inception to completion—perhaps even to submissions to online publications, screenwriting festivals, etc.

I’m looking for a compatible, creative soul who can’t help but think, dream day and night, and hopefully act upon these irrepressible desires to tell stories, fantastical and honest ones, to the best of their ability, with whatever tools at their disposal. Someone who is committed to the art and lifestyle, despite a full-time job (which I have), family, or other obligations. Someone who will prioritize the story’s integrity and in so doing provide honest, unbiased critiquing, and in turn graciously accept as much for their own contributions. I’m not looking to consume any more of your time than you’d already be freely committing. I only expect 100% of the most you’re willing and able to contribute, which I trust will be an equal share until the excitement and duty of the process inevitably consumes us and renders a division of labor immaterial anyhow.

It’s been difficult for me to meet new people and expand my network over the years, not to mention during a pandemic. This is an attempt to at least let a few out there know that I’m real, I’m invested in—and tortured by—the craft, and that if you’re in a similar boat and would like to exchange ideas and critique each other’s work, then I hope you’ll consider giving this experiment a shot.

Some of my favorite authors are Shirley Jackson, John Steinbeck, Neil Gaiman, Elena Ferrante, Cormac McCarthy.

Some of my favorite filmmakers are The Coen Brothers, Nicolas Winding Refn, Bong Joon Ho, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, David Chase.

Some of my favorite musicians and songwriters include Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Soundgarden/Chris Cornell, The Beatles, Ohio Players, Led Zeppelin.

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing the next round of preliminaries like favorite colors, ice cream flavors, and methods of procrastination.

Sincerely,

Linecker
