Mike Briock

Attended film school. Gravitated towards screenwriting after I wrote some shorts and commercials for other students for their projects and became very popular and in great demand, so much so that I was staying up every night to write the projects for other students while also working on my own projects for school. Worked as a script reader, and also was a personal reader for a well-known Director/Producer/Writer. I read some very good scripts as well as some horrendously bad scripts that were being greenlit, which actually made me angry. Started writing my own scripts (Antinean/Cajun Justice/ Hibernation/Love & Happiness/Malicious Intent/The Fourth Night) and entering some film festivals in the screenplay category. I have experienced some well-deserved success as well as some bitter disappointments. Even though I have won film festivals I am like any "unknown" writer and have found great difficulty in getting anyone at all to read my entertaining and high-quality scripts. The more festivals I can win, the more credence it gives to the high quality of my screenplays and writing ability.
