THE BEAST is an ode to the classic horror films of yesteryear. A strong family drama with a horror backdrop that relies on atmosphere, character and conflict as much as shock horror or gore. The screenplay was named one of the top scripts of the 2018 Emerging Screenwriters Competition, placed in the semi-finals of the 2017 Screencraft Horror Script Contest and was an official selection of the 2017 LA International Screenplay Awards. It's based on an award winning short film starring indie horror icon Bill Oberst, Jr. that went on to win Best Horror Film at the All Things Hollywood Film Festival. Praise from the prestigious THE BLACK LIST:"Taut and thrilling""Palpable tension right off the bat""Tight and dramatic""Moments of true brilliance"
