Hello all, my name's Brandon! I'm from the tiny island of Barbados. For 12 hours, five days a week, I give to my job of Health and Safety Officer, the other 12 hours I give to rest, chores and screen writing. Screen writing and film are my passion and I intend to make them my profession! I love the concept of franchises and I have several stories and drafts for 3 franchises of my creation. So at times it feels like I want more time.
My writing style incorporates dark, threatening, sinister and brutal tones and I love the genres horror, sci-fi, fantasy and action. If you love these too, we've got loads to talk about!
I'm also currently working with a local film production company on the Caribbean's first ever Zombie Horror movie! The production elements, writing, and working with the cast and crew has been a blast... but the road to funding is like being shot from a cannon at 80mph and face-planting the side of a cliff, SPLATS! We're pushing on though, no force stopping this train!!!
