Where do you live (City, State, or Country)? I live in Vancouver, BC, CANADA.
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? My inspiration for my Hour Long TV Pilot “CHEATER” was all the great Country Music I’ve heard over the years. My favorite country singers include Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and Beyonce for “Texas Hold ‘Em”.
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? It takes me three to four months to write a script. I start with FADE IN and keep going but I write myself random notes about what I want to add.
What is your ultimate ambition as a writer? My ultimate ambition as a writer is to have one of my projects produced.
Was your entry at The Wiki Screenplay Contest a full script or “the first ten pages”? Why did you make that choice? My entry to the Wiki Contest was a full script because I wanted to get a sense of what someone else would think about the screenplay as a whole.
What’s your all-time favorite movie or television show...and why? My favorite TV show is Seinfeld because it is funny on so many levels.
What advice do you have for writers hoping to win a contest or place as a finalist as you have? Keep writing. Try different genres. Stay positive. Enjoy the process.
What else are you working on that the world needs to know about? My next project is an Hour Long TV Pilot called “A.I. Spider”, a Sci/Fi Horror story. I am also revising my Feature Length Musical/Comedy Screenplay, “Baby Boomers Can Dance”which has twelve original songs. Comp. “Barbie” meets “Saturday Night Fever”. Please GOOGLE “Pam Price Baby Boomers Can Dance” for more information. This is a FOUR QUADRANT project with PARTIAL ANIMATION. It won BEST MUSICAL SCREENPLAY, International Film and Script Festival Lotus 2023 and BEST MUSICAL SCREENPLAY, Swiss Screening and Cinematic Summit 2024. Two of the songs from the project, “BABY BOOMER RAP” and “CHEATER” won several Film Festival awards.
