Welcome,

My intention is to write entertaining and provocative stories, primarily in the form of screenplays. On this site you will find details of my recent work as well as the Novel Project, of which five short chapters are posted.

When I sat down to write The Last Concerto I set myself a challenge -- Master Storytelling -- and placed that on my writing table as a reminder every day. At times it had a "sword of Damocles" effect, even when it was buried under mounds of paper. Did it work? Here's what they're saying about The Last Concerto:

“Creative, compelling, and infused with a powerful sense of historical significance, this script takes a naturally moody and emotional atmosphere, and supplements it with a quite intriguing story and a cast of characters that feel nuanced, complex and distinctly realistic. Buffeted by a strong written style, powerful visual imagery, and a smoothly professional execution, from start to finish, this script delivers a completed product that feels as though it could effortlessly leap to the big screen. With an easily communicable high concept, a strong written style, and a solid presentation at a broad, global level, it seems the execution of this story is virtually flawless.”

An early draft of iGuru made the Semi-Finals (Top 20) of Just Effing Entertain Me Screenplay Comp. (September, 2011).

A new and exciting project has dominated my 2012. Lets see where it goes.

If you would like to read scripts in full, purchase, option or represent material (or myself), please contact me at david@davidjmargolis.com. For various updates, check my Blog. It's made the long migration to Wordpress.

Thanks and enjoy the site.

David
