Synopsis/Details
This was my first screenplay. A fun way to document the research I was doing into the period of the Wars of Scottish Independence -- following the lives of ANDREW (De Moray) MURRAY, WILLIAM WALLACE and future king ROBERT BRUCE before he joined the Scots' cause indefinitely. Patriots opens in Scotland - 1286. The death of King ALEXANDER III wrenches the country from its comfort zone and attracts the attention of tyrannical English monarch, EDWARD I. As the Longshanks' grip tightens, the lives of patriots William Wallace, Andrew Murray and a young Robert the Bruce long before his ascension to the throne intertwine in a tale of love, loss, revenge and freedom. I have since gone on to focus on Scotland’s often forgotten, unsung hero Andrew Murray as my single protagonist in a new feature which is ready now.

To add a fun angle to a research project I was doing on Scottish history -- William Wallace and Andrew De Moray the topic in question -- I chose to document it as a dual-protagonist feature screenplay to hone my technique and find my own style. The result was a 135-page monster, deliberately long so I could get as much practice in as possible. To gauge my abilities, I entered some of the smaller fish in the competition game, and to my surprise… Go to bio
