Piece of Cake follows Gina and Mike as they try to stop her sister’s wedding. But they find out, that stopping a wedding is no piece of cake, and they get a much larger slice than they expect. It’s full of comedic twists and turns!

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Piece of Cake is written as a Comedy.

3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

This script is fun, playful, and relatable. The very human feeling of wanting to conquer something, and destiny choosing a different outcome, is all too familiar. I feel like audiences would be pleasantly entertained with this piece.

4. How would you describe this script in two words?

If I had to describe the script in two words, I would use: Playful twists.

Bridesmaids. I feel like I embody all of the characters in this movie (including “Stove”).

I believe it’s been about 3 months, on and off. I work a “real job,” so I would write on my off times.

I’m working on my 3rd Feature, and I have a two shorts, which I have submitted to some festivals. Mostly in Comedy.

8. What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the most times in your life?)

I’m fuelled by music, so that is a hard question, but I would say any song that takes me on a journey. Florence + the Machine is a favourite artist of mine. Sometimes we all need a break from reality.

9. What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?

Every screenwriter faces obstacles when working on their scripts (that is what makes our writing great). Our daily interactions and struggles feed our work. I would say balancing my professional life, with having a toddler, and travelling for business, has been both challenging and empowering.

Besides writing, I am a family man, who loves being with my wife and child. Oh, and travelling. I love travelling!

I submitted to this festival because of all the amazing reviews. People said the feedback was game-changing, and I couldn’t agree more. The feedback I received was fantastic. The critiques both illuminated, and reaffirmed, changes I could make to have a perfect script. Very happy with the feedback!
