A story idea I was developing for all of high-school and two years of college, the script follows an assassin as he tracks down the missing pieces to unlocking his past, against the wishes of those in power. This script showcases my ability to properly pace and structure a long-form narrative as well as strong characterization and smart dialogue. It also is notable for how unique the setting of the story is, and how that plays into the overall themes of the narrative

​

Reflections: This was a project made out of passion rather than for a client, and the target audience for this would be young adults ages 13-24, primarily males. Made mainly to entertain, this script was completed in August of 2019 and is written entirely by myself. From writing this, I learned how to finish long-form writing projects and what's required to fill out an entire feature-length script. Through writing this, I gained a much better grasp of story structure and pacing.

Pandora

Originally written for my advanced narrative class, Jai, a down on his luck aspiring writer, comes into possession of a magic pen which tricks everyone into thinking anything he writes is good. Conflict arises when the pen's old owner reappears seeking to be reunited with his property. With snappy dialogue and a tale of how the desire to "make it" can lead one down a dark path, this feature-length script consists of an insane series of events culminating in a Sharknado laying waste to a major metropolis. You know, normal Tuesday things. This presents my comedic abilities as well as how I write interpersonal relationships and how those affect the characters.

​

Reflections: Written primarily for my Narrative writing class and my professor specifically, this script was also made mainly for the purpose of entertainment. I finished writing it in May of 2020 and learned how to take and implement criticism from writing this script. It helped me to better hear and listen to critiques of my own work.

Derelict

This short script has everything that defines a script written by Grant Galvin. Sharp dialogue, an interesting setting, and compelling characters. Set in the far future, two former friends find themselves searching for the same treasures on a derelict ship. Simple set-up, interesting conclusion.

​

Reflection: Written for another narrative screenwriting class and a separate professor, this short script was also written to entertain. I completed it in February of 2019 and mainly utilized my skill at writing believable and witty dialogue in this script. I learned how to condense a story to its most essential aspects when writing this script, as it had a hard page limit.
