Michael McMahon

Screenwriter focused in Features of all Genres/Southern Stories. For some reason all my scripts have themes of familial patterns and childhood/societal trauma.

The script that got me into writing, been on the Blacklist Top List after starting off as a 20,000 word run-on sentence. The goal is to film some shorts then do a proof of concept. Excited to create and collaborate more this year!

@JonShaivitz @DannyManus Main script got two 7s, then a 6 and 5, then a 7 and 4. Done spending money on blacklist. Would like to know how to get it over the hump but tapped out most my trusted peers for feedback on this one.

1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.

Last day at a Michelin star restaurant I've worked at for 3 years. Not moving into a film job yet, but excited to continue my growth at a 2 star spot in Culver. After a decade plus in this industry, can't wait to see where my writing is at when I get that far in my journey.
