JESUS GONZALEZ

 Picture
Where do you live (City, State, or Country)?
Miami, FL

Your script stood out among hundreds of others. What was the inspiration for your story and why did you write a script instead of a short story or a novel?
I know well the Miami Airport Cargo area, and I wanted to tell an entertaining action/thriller story incorporating the logistics aspects of the airport and the airplanes takeoff runways vulnerable and dangerous easy access.
 
How long did it take you to write your script...and what is your writing process? Do you outline...use index cards...white board...or just start with FADE IN?
FADE IN, and the story develops as I write along.
 
What is your ultimate ambition as a writer?
See people entertained watching movies produced from my screenplays.
 
Was your entry at The Wiki Screenplay Contest a full script or “the first ten pages”? Why did you make that choice?
It was a full script. I wrote 110 pages; it was not fair to leave 100 pages not read.
 
What’s your all-time favorite movie or television show...and why?
Jurassic Park. Great concept.
 
What advice do you have for writers hoping to win a contest or place as a finalist as you have?
Read script and script analysis
 
What else are you working on that the world needs to know about?
I am working on a story about the transformation of rejected young people, left behind trapped in an environment that they cannot leave without help.
