Industry feedback
"There’s strong commercial potential in ZERO POINT GIRL. The character of Natalie, with her climate-conscious attitude, would resonate with audiences today. The continued debate about disclosure and alien crafts/beings would also be another angle in which this screenplay would strike a chord with audiences. Peta and Amar also made for a likeable pair, and their broken spacecraft and desire to return home would easily make them endearing to audiences.
There’s a lot to admire in the script in terms of originality and the relevance of the story to today’s society as debates on disclosure continue to dominate the public forum. Led by a strong and engaging female protagonist who voices concerns about climate change, this screenplay would appeal to producers and directors looking for a new lens on the classic disclosure story."
Industry Reader from the 2024 Golden Script Screenwriting Awards.
Next steps
I am looking for an agent to help me find the right publishing house and film production company for my YA novel and screenplay. With Disclosure movies now being green-lit, this script is the family / teen angle.
​
I am a UK based screenwriter. Zero Point Girl is my debut screenplay, which has already won two screenwriting competitions and been short-listed in eight more.
​
I have written and published four books, started and sold two businesses and patented two best selling products. I love to invent and make ideas come into reality.
