Our Review:
Plagiarism is a burning issue and every industry suffers the risk of losing their creative work or scientific one. Ink & quill is an interesting script. More emotions but less drama. The main characters Dwight & Amanda as so contrasting though they share similar interest. The choices Amanda makes blinded by vane glamour and greed. Dwight & Amanda being poles apart, the story takes interesting twists & turns & who doesn't like the good one winning at the end!!!
Writer Biography - Alex Martins
My name is Alex Martins I immigrated to the United States from Brazil when I was six years old. I was brought here to escape an abusive alcoholic father, the rough streets and poverty of Brazil. Being an immigrant in America has significantly shaped my life. For years I found it difficult to express myself in the words I wanted growing up due to the language barrier. Along with many other disadvantages I found it hard to fit in. So, I expressed myself in other ways, one being art. I started with drawing, then as I got older it progressed into poetry. My imagination was something that was always hard for me to contain. I was always a dreamer. I began writing books, using my imagination to create stories that not only I could enjoy but also the reader. I recently began pouring my passion into acting. Becoming someone different has always been an escape to me in my past, but in films it’s something I actually enjoy being able to control when to turn on and off. I recently started writing scripts, and was determined to bring them to life. I put a team together on each project and we worked however long it took to make sure it was perfect. Some of the films I wrote are Samsara, Art, and Sunny Day. I co-produced and played the main actor in all 3 films. Each role was significantly different then the other, but had the same satisfied feeling of completion when they were done. I hope to be able to further this.
