A character and dialogue focused excerpt from an original western/fantasy TV drama pilot.
A previous version made the Semi-Finals in ScreenCraft’s Pilot Launch competition, and I’ve since made improvements based on reader feedback. Full script available upon request.
This scene shows that I can craft great dialogue and establish interesting characters. This exchange also serves as the basis for an original quest line in articy:draft, focusing on branching dialogue, player choice, and skill variables.
A screenwriting exercise from TND’s Game Writing Masterclass.
The goal was to demonstrate my ability to embrace and use established voices and characters. This sample features a few of my favorite video game personalities: Claptrap, Morrigan, and Geralt of Rivia.
