Michael Olsen: Screenwriter in Phenix City, Alabama.

What do I do if the exec I have a skype Pitch Session does not show up?

Good day my friends. I just posted my project Dark Side. I would appreciate it if you would read it and provide some feedback on the Log Line and the script. It was a semi-finalist for the ISA Fast Track Fellowship.

I have written an original military drama titled Marez. I believe this film will truly shed light on the trials and tribulations that military families and their soldiers actually encounter on a daily basis.The story is based on an actual event, the chow hall attack that occurred on forward operating base Marez that took place on December 21, 2004 which resulted in the deaths of 14 American soldiers. The script received high praise from Oliver Stone who also suggested getting this film made as soon as possible. In order to accomplish this, we are in need of financing.

Please feel free to contact me at michaelgolsen@outlook.com for more details.

Dear Fellow Members,

My name is Michael Olsen and I am looking to raise $26 million for my war drama film “Marez”. Marez is about courage, risk and resilience. It is based on the true events of the December 21, 2004 attack on an American chow hall in Iraq that resulted in the death of 14 American service members. It is written along the lines of films such as “American Sniper” and “Lone Survivor.”

Do you know any potential investors and if they invest in this project, I will give you an Associate Producer credit and a 5% fee. For example, if an investor you introduce to me invest $1 million, you will earn $5,000.00.

I believe the riveting drama, accurate portrayal of PTSD and war in “Marez” will appeal to a very wide audience. I would like to meet with you to tell you more about Marez. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Michael G Olsen
