BY THE BOOK

A reclusive writer attempts to break his writer’s block by secretly taking a class about his works, and ends up falling for the teacher, who loves him as an author, but not as a person.

This romantic comedy was the first feature-length screenplay I wrote. The script is currently entered in the Project: Greenlight screenplay contest and the Final Draft Big Break screenplay contest.
