Question 1. What’s your name and where are you from?

Jordan Bonn

Question 2. What’s the title of your screenplay?

51

Question 3. What’s the logline and how did you come up with the
concept for your screenplay?

“A girl once thought missing crash lands in the midwest, and an alien armada not far behind.” I had researched the psychological impact of alien abductions and discovered that regardless of what those people saw, they all came out of it different than before. I wanted to push that onto my protagonist, and it fed into my strengths.

Question 4. Tell us about your history as a screenwriter. Where did your journey begin?

This was technically my first screenplay, the first one I actually finished and revised like any other screenplay. That was 2017-2018. Since then I’ve written more, and I’m proud of the work I’ve done.

Question 5. What motivates you to be a screenwriter or filmmaker?

I just love
writing scripts and stories, its something I’ve always wanted to do and tried
to do when I was younger. I love a good story, and I wanted to tell one.

Question 6. What is the biggest challenge you have encountered as a screenwriter and filmmaker?

I’m my own worst
critic, and like many didn’t accept criticism at first. Luckily I learned that
listening to other people’s opinions on my work can make my work better,
regardless of the feedback.

What’s the most important thing you want audiences
to take away when watching your films or reading your screenplays.

that fit those descriptions.

I say this instead of having heroes, because I personally don’t have an idol like that: “You don’t need heroes. Work on being a better you.”
