The Writer: Victor Mancini

I’m a screenwriter with a soft spot for the surreal, the silent, and the slightly unhinged. I tend to write things that feel like dreams you almost remember—emotional, eerie, and occasionally whispered by furniture. This is my first publicly shared short, and I’m just here to see what happens when you leave the candle burning. Go to bio
