Get to know writer Graham Parke:

1. What is your screenplay about?

No Hope for Gomez! is the story of a guy who’s convinced life is verifiably harder on him than it is on others.

I think it would make a great series as there is a wealth of quirky/zany material…

1. What is your TV PILOT about?

Named by her father after a football pass with little chance of success, a quick-witted former pro beach volleyball player takes on the exclusive boys club of professional sports by becoming a sports agent/attorney.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a TV Show?

The similarity of the world of Hail Mary to that of The Good Wife suggests that it could capture the same enduring popularity.

Instead of solid and reliable, Hail Mary is current, it’s hot, and it delivers the excitement that only…

Locked In
by Samantha K Collinson

Exploding lights, raindrops

Hitting electric fields.

I run out, dancing;

Entwined, holding his hand.

The sky, extravagant,

Fireworks waving, rainbow

Colours rippling.

I look at him, filled with

Emotion. Heart throbbing,

Body quaking.

I feel the rhythm,

Absorbing. We run into

Elysium.

Twisting and turning,

The music rising,

Vibrations quickening.

The night stands still,

No time limit, no loss,

Just us.

I make a wish to the floating

Flowers, rising to the beat.

I close my eyes – we kiss,

I wake.

Walls pale and thin,

White explodes inwards

Towards the hospital bed.

I lay, no movement,

He holds my hand.

Time takes over – once more,

Tick after tick.
