Please join us on Monday, May 8th for the review of Doug Folsom’s feature fantasy film Over The Monster. Doug presented this script last year and this is his re-write.
Log Line: A top young baseball prospect, engaged to be married, dreams of playing professional baseball and hitting home runs over the famous Green Monster wall in Fenway Park, only to discover he has to first overcome his stay in a prison called “The Monster.”
About the Author: Douglas Folsom is a former pastor, award-winning filmmaker, novelist, and screenwriter who writes inspirational dramas with a touch of magical realism.
Doug grew up in Massachusetts, and graduated from New York University—majoring in acting and English. After years of pursuing acting in New York City, he became an ordained pastor and chaplain. He moved to Los Angeles in 2000 and continued his creative pursuits by producing and acting in four award-winning short films.
He decided to focus on writing in 2009. He’s written two feature screenplays, The Return of the Santa Fe Super Chief (semi-finalist at PAGE), and Over the Monster (Winner, Best Screenplay, 2014 Woods Hole Film Festival). He’s also written two critically acclaimed novels based on the screenplays, which can be found on Amazon. In 2014, he taught screenwriting as an adjunct at Stevenson University in Maryland.
Doug returned to Massachusetts in 2014 with his wife and daughter, who he takes care of full-time. For his next writing project, he’s working on a WWII romance based on a true story.
