Dear Literary Agent
,
I am a somewhat young writer, thirty years old. I have written and directed numerous
short films and written 3 feature length scripts since getting serious about my
craft four years ago.
They are: Blood in the Water,
a feature length thriller screenplay I wrote about two brothers that fall in
love with the same woman, their feud for her leads to deadly consequences. Roach Coach,
a comedy story about a food truck owner in Los Angeles who dreams of
owning a real restaurant, but is blackmailed from doing so by his female
coworker. My latest finished script is a thriller, BRING JOHNNY HOME(stylized in caps), about the head of a Mexican mafioso getting out of prison from a year
long sentence to find out his recent wife is pregnant and his youngest
brother, Johnny, is missing.
I would be happy to send any of these screenplays for you to look at, if you'd
like. I'm particularly proud of BRING JOHNNY HOME.
The reason I'm asking for a query is that I'm hard at work on my newest feature length screenplay, The Clocks That Can't Be Fixed, about a Mediterranean
child raised by adoptive Caucasian parents in a small Midwestern town
who decides to look for his biological parents who now reside in
California
and finds out he is not an only child. The theme for this story is that
there is never enough time to do what you want, so spend that time
wisely. The pages are in pretty
good shape, and I'd also be delighted to show you this one.
On my list of works to write is Creditline, set in the future when everyone has credit limits instead of
money, where one man's credit and identity disappears after he witnesses a
high-profile murder. The other script I'm working on is Celebrity, about a well known celebrity who is caught burglarizing a jewelry
shop by the owner and escapes by committing murder in the public eye, and while
on bail, freely roams the streets while tensions rise among his
neighbors, family, and friends around him as he pretends that nothing
has happened.
Please be in touch and tell me if you'd like to see some of my
material. In the meantime, I appreciate you taking the time to read my
letter.
Best Regards,
Danny Derakhshan
