| Winning Screenplay – THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR Written by Richard Mueller CAST LIST: NARRATOR – Elizabeth Morriss |
SYNOPSIS:
Genre: Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Romance
A reboot of the 1960s TV show (and 1945 movie) based on the R.A. Dick novel. A young widow and her two teenage children discover that the seaside house they have moved into is haunted. .
Get to know the writer:
What is your TV Pilot screenplay about?
A single mom and her kids struggle with a failing career, adjusting to small town life and romantic entanglements with a sea captain who’s been dead for a hundred years.
Why should this screenplay be made into a TV show?
Because it’s an entrancing world, filled with lovable, beguiling people.
How would you describe this script in two words?
Spooky Romance
What TV show do you keep watching over and over again?
Gilmore Girls and Burn Notice
How long have you been working on this screenplay?
About five months from start to submission in Fan Fiction Festival.
How many stories have you written?
Four competed scripts, one half of a novel and 7.4 bizillion ideas.
What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the most times in your life?)
OMG. Just one? Okay then: Ruth Brown – Cabbage Head
What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?
Getting past my own ideas of what it was “OK” to write and allowing myself to wantonly follow my inspiration. I’m glad I did it too, because now I am writing more, better and with increased enjoyment.
Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
My passion is for storytelling. I’m a professional artist and designer with experience in a wide variety of media and I’ve found that regardless of whether I am creating an ad campaign, an interior design, a virtual world or writing a narrative, it is story that is the structure everything else hangs on. And that is something I just can’t get enough of.
What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings on the initial feedback you received?
I have no writing group and needed an outside eye. I got exactly what I’d hoped for in the feedback, it was perfectly professional, spot on and taught me things that influenced my subsequent project and made me better as a writer.
Any advice or tips you’d like to pass on to other writers?
Follow your inspiration fearlessly and remember there is always more than one reward to creative expression.

CAST LIST: NARRATOR – Mallory Palmer SKIPPER – Peter Nelson GILLIGAN – Hugh Ritchie GINGER – Kheon Clarke MR. HOWELL – Julian Ford MARY ANN – Angelica Alejandro LOVEY – Kelci Stephenson |
SYNOPSIS:
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Horror
A reinvention of the popular series with the same castaways (reinvented) who end up having to fight off Zombies during the night on the far away island.
Get to know the winning writer:
What is your fan fiction screenplay about?
“Gilligan’s Island of The Dead” is a reboot of the classic TV comedy, with everything turned on its head… and zombies!
Why does this modern day twist of the iconic TV show work?
With updated characters, including Gilligan and The Skipper as a gay couple, and the Howells as the Madoffs hiding from the Feds, the series also capitalizes on the current zombie craze.
How would you describe this TV show in 2 words?
Zombie Survival
What TV show have you seen the most times in your life?
The Avengers from the 1960’s!
How long have you been working on this screenplay?
It took about three months to write.
How many stories have you written?
Well over fifty.
What motivated you to write this screenplay?
Funny story, that. NBC had decided to do a reboot of the TV comedy, The Munsters. They spent millions on the pilot, including building the full size Munsters house. Halfway through the filming of the pilot, they realized it was going to be such a total disaster, they pulled the plug on the series before they had even finished shooting. I was joking with some friends about it on Facebook, and said. “We should do a reboot of Gilligan’s Island with zombies!” I stopped dead. I thought, hey, that’s not a bad idea. I actually detest when old shows are redone and changed, and I’m not a zombie fan, but I decided to put everything I don’t like into this. Of course, it wins a contest!
What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?
. I really didn’t face any obstacles writing it. I knew the old series very well. I read some books on the making of the series, including one by series creator, Sherwood Schwartz, and watched a documentary produced by Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann. I did try to market the script, but the Schwartz estate and CBS have the rights, so that was a dead end.
Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
I was a professional ballet dancer with The Joffrey Ballet for eight years, and I now teach in LA. I’m very passionate about my students and their development as dancers.
What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings on the initial feedback you received?
I submitted a first scene to you guys that won, and the feedback was wonderful, so I decided to enter this full script. I recommend your contests to all my writer friends. The feedback on this project was fantastic. Of course, I loved the praise. The suggestions and criticisms were extremely precise and helpful. What I really appreciated was that you got what I was trying to do. I wanted to take the original series in a completely different direction, but one that made sense in relation to the original characters.
Any advice for other writers?
A much smarter man than I said, 95% of writing is re-writing, so start writing. Don’t sit around thinking about writing, just write. Then write some more. Then enter a Wildsound contest! Also, never assume a woman is pregnant.
