Good day!
I am a novelist, screenwriter, Naval Aviator (U.S. Navy helicopter pilot), military strategic planner and military faculty at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
My debut novel, LOOKING INTO THE SUN: A NOVEL OF THE SYRIAN CONFLICT, was published by Pandamoon Publishing in February 2016.
I adapted a screenplay from my novel, titled THE LAST RESCUE, it was optioned and is currently in development with Sleeperwave Films.
I've written four feature length screenplays listed with genres below:
THE LAST RESCUE: Action/Thriller (in development)
RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA (adapted from Arthur C. Clarke's novel): Sci-Fi Thriller (writing sample only)
BOOK SMART: Dramedy
GRADY'S WAR: WWII Action/Adventure
I have also had ten short stories published in print literary journals and online e-magazines.
I have a Bachelor's degree in History from the US Naval Academy, a Master's degree in International Relations from Norwich University, and I am currently working on a Master's degree in Cybersecurity at the National Defense University.
I believe my completed 96 page feature dramedy, BOOK SMART, may pique your interest. The logline is below (the synopsis/script is also available to review on InkTip).
Logline: A blocked novelist, days before his next manuscript is due on a lucrative contract, accepts the creative help of a brilliant young girl, claiming she is his daughter, who is secretly determined to stop him.
Hope to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Todd Tavolazzi
