Other work by award-winning writer/producer/director DAN MARGULES, co-founder and former president of San Diego Filmmakers and current Director of Writers Groups and Staged Readings for Scriptwriters Network.

WEST OF 5 – Ensemble comedy in the vein of Dazed and Confused about four dysfunctional women on an all-night binge for booze, boyz, and Benadryl. Optioned by Mad Rabbit Films with Monica Keena (Freddy vs. Jason, Undeclared) and Carly Pope (Popular) attached to star.

ROSA – Psychological/Supernatural Horror-Thriller in the vein of a Hispanic Rosemary’s Baby. The daughter of a curandera (spiritual healer) is torn between turning to her mother’s black magic or relying on the unpromising methods of western medicine in 1950s rural Texas when she is forced to find a way to save the life of her monstrously deformed baby. Academy Award nominee Edward James Olmos said, “This is a script that HAS to be made!” Written with Cassie Benavidez (who appears in Begleiter).

THE LEGEND OF BOOMER JACK – Rewrite of a feature script by Timothy Martin done on assignment for Twinstar Entertainment, based on the true story of an early 1900s railroad dog. That’s right, another dog movie!
