Scott Svatos is a Los Angeles based screenwriter and web designer News
November 16, 2008 Attended Screenwriting Expo in Los Angeles.
September 26, 2008 Started working with Mauro Borrelli on Death Experience, a supernatural thriller.
September 15, 2008 Arrived in Boston after a 4300 mile road trip through the northern U.S. including the Black Hills of South Dakota and Upper Peninsula Michigan (where most of my script Viking Doom takes place). I'll be living in Boston for most of the year while making periodic trips back to Los Angeles for business and fun.
July 30, 2008 Blood Queens of Suburbia is now a quarterfinalist in Scriptapalooza.
July 24, 2008 Attended Comicon in San Diego. Even managed to check out a comic book or two amongst the massive Hollywood studio displays hyping new and upcoming films.
July 12, 2008 Spent a week in Boston with side trips to Salem (witches) and Providence (Lovecraft).
July 3, 2008 Launched website and blog for actor Brad Greenquist. The site features tons of photos and video clips - check it out!
June 22, 2008 Attended the Great American Pitchfest and spoke to 15 or so production companies about Blood Queens of Suburbia, Whiplash, and Viking Doom.
June 21, 2008 Attended Spinning the Web at the WGA to learn how to better leverage my web development with my screenwriting.
April 25, 2008 Kicked off three days of Fangoria, promoting my script Blood Queens of Suburbia. Met countless horror fans, actors, and creators and spent way too much money on obscure DVDs and other schwag.
April 8, 2008 Lots of writing on both spec and contract: horror, gangster, and science fiction... almost in equal measure.
February 28, 2008 Now and Nowhere, a film I worked on last winter, premiers at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, April 9-13th.
February 1, 2008 I found out my dark drama Whiplash was a quarterfinalist in Zoetrope.
January 11, 2008 Viking Doom finally has a website.
Jan 5, 2008 Happy New Year! Filmmaker Bob Recon and I have returned from our Salton Sea New Year's trip, which also included a side journey to Anza-Borrego. Port Hueneme felt suprisingly warm after some chilly nights in the desert. We did not discover the elusive "mud pots" but we did find the "mud volcanoes" and attended several surreal parties at Slab City. And we only popped one tire!
December 25, 2007 Santa treated me well this year with a nice balance of boring sock-and-sweater gifts and a exciting long-sought-after DVDs like Wassup Rockers and The Acid House. My wife and I spent Christmas Eve in Thousand Oaks before returning home and engaging in our annual Christmas Day tradition of locking the doors and watching endless movies.
December 15, 2007 I just found out I'm a finalist for the Blue Cat Screenwriting Lab in Los Angeles for my script pitch "Cloud City."
December 9, 2007 Filmmaker Bob Recon and I have confirmed the destination for the annual winter offroad excursion: The Salton Sea Mudpots. Recon plans to shoot footage for his latest documentary while I do my best to scald myself in hot mud.
December 1, 2007 I was hired to write a new screenplay... a war-time horror script in the vein of Southern Comfort and Predator. Strictly non-union, of course.
November 19, 2007 The horror western script is finally finished. So far, everyone who has read the script is loving it and hopefully someday you will too (when it's no longer a script, but a movie).
Upcoming Events: Sucker, a short film I'm producing, will shoot in the Fall. Will be in Los Angeles in November for the Screenwriting Expo. Planning a trip to Saline Valley for New Years Eve.
