The Writer: Cindy Martin Nagel

I’m a screenwriter and storyteller who writes emotionally driven short films with depth, suspense, and heart. My latest script, The Weight of Love , explores the tension between loyalty and self-preservation in a world where second chances come with a cost. The script is fully copyrighted and ready for review. I believe in characters that linger, moments that twist, and endings that leave a mark. I’m open to collaboration, pitching opportunities, and connecting with filmmakers looking for meaningful, powerful storytelling. Go to bio
