Jury Choice Best Short Screenplay (Horror) - Paul CorricelliWhen a couple of no-good, thievin’ drifters massacre six Shoshone Indians on their land, they incur the wrath of a tribal Chief who unleashes a horde of Indian zombies on the town of Salt Flats, and it’s up to the sheriff to lead a band of undead cowboys against them in order to save everything they died for.
After going to art school and studying photography and animation, I moved to Los Angeles as the drummer in a hard rock band seeking fame and fortune in the music industry. Unfortunately that was not to be. Being broke and in need of money, I was fortunate enough to land a job in the film industry, where I’ve worked for more than twenty years. While I did write and draw my own comic books while in art school, and song lyrics in my band, I didn’t start writing screenplays until working in the film industry, where I really developed a love for the process of making movies… and read a ton of scripts. My first script was optioned but has yet to be produced. My horror screenplay Inked in Blood has won numerous awards and was recently signed to a non-exclusive shopping deal. Inked in Blood is also part of the ISA Development Slate and was featured on the Script Shop Show – Writers Podcast 2019. My feature screenplays, A Life Unravelled and The Deputy have also won numerous awards, as well as my short screenplays Inked and The Dead Plains.
