Sayn-Wittgenstein Purchases "Psychology of Murder"

Producer Klaus von Sayn-Wittgenstein purchased the feature script "Psychology of Murder" from writer Sean Wathen after discovering it through InkTip. Swiss director Director Manuel Messerli, an AFI alumnus and represented by Nick Saward of Saward Creative Club, actually found Sean and referred him to Klaus, who was looking for a follow up to the two horror films he produced last year. This is the second script Klaus purchased from Sean. "Psychology of Murder" is just one of a few scripts by Sean Wathen that have been picked up in recent weeks by producers on InkTip.

Elements Entertainment Discovers Gunhus and Beard

Management/production company Elements Entertainment (KILLERS; AIR I BREATHE), has signed Jeff Gunhus and Jim Beard as transmedia writers based on their command for writing larger, world-building stories after discovering them on InkTip. Details are under wraps, but the duo is currently developing a transmedia property that will be announced later this year. Elements discovered the pair to have "a level of thinking in the creative process much deeper than screenwriting storytelling," says president of Elements, Christopher Pratt. "I think the recent success of studio franchise properties has shown the community that transmedia thinking is here to stay. It's nice to see writers engaging in this type of thinking with such passion." Says VP of Development Jane Lawton Moore, "In today's market, screenwriting is merely one component of storytelling. We're thrilled to be working with writers who have the vision and scope to construct larger worlds designed around a compelling hero's journey."

Adrian Mathai Options "Stitch"

Adrian Mathai with Thunderbolt Entertainment optioned "Stitch" from writer Maurice Billington after meeting him through InkTip, and we're pleased to announce the film went into production last week. The film stars Edward Furlong ("American History X," "Detroit Rock City") and Shawna Waldron (from the upcoming Lizzie Borden thriller "Lizzie"). Writer Maurice Billington has been with InkTip literally since the beginning, so this isn't his first option by far - some of his previous successes include an option to TriCoast Studios, as well as multiple screenwriting contest wins.

Paul Krik Options "Green Man"

Paul Krik optioned the feature script "Green Man" by writer William Schwind after finding it on InkTip. Krik wrote and directed the feature "Able Danger." Schwind is a novelist and screenwriter based in Colombia.

Singh Hires Brian Horgan

Yash Singh found "Shark Fin Soup" by Brian Horgan on InkTip, liked his writing style and contacted him regarding his own short project "Wicked Elite" which was in pre-production and scheduled to shoot in February. Brian agreed to come on board as a script doctor. This was Brian's first writing assignment, although he has a number of written features and specs. "I'd like to thank InkTip for providing this wonderful service that put me together with a talented writer," said Yash.
