Michael Catangay
Writer/Copyeditor
I right. Seams simple, write? Catch it? If you did, great. If you didn't, that's okay. There are a lot of distractions in life. In today's world, you have to be aware and in the moment. Sadly, if you're not, you will unknowingly let the littlest things slip bye, like homophones for instance. And that's what I like to write about. Life is about chances and mistakes. It's about timing, perception and most of all, it's about people. I am drawn to reel and quirky characters. And I enjoy altering the lens through which we see them and the world.
If you'd like to read any of my material or if you need copyediting services, please feel free to contact me.
I have written two feature screenplays, one short, and also co-written a family feature. My second TV pilot, Gen X Factor recently placed in the semifinals of The Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards, The Los Angeles Screenplay Awards and the quarterfinals of The PAGE International Screenplay Awards and The Outstanding Screenplay TV Pilot Competition. My romantic comedy, Nina, has placed in The WeScreenplay Feature Competition, The BlueCat Screenplay Competition, Creative World Awards, WriteMovies, and was an honorable mention in the Big Apple Film Festival Screenplay Competition. And my short drama, No Roses For Kate, has placed in the Richmond International Screenplay Film Festival and Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition. And I recently co-wrote and developed two TV pilots. Lost Atlantic is a unique blend of action and comedy and Dogs in Heat is a YA Drama that follows a group of NJ high schoolers as they navigate the end of the 90s while trying to leave their mark on the music scene.
In addition, I have also written seven one-acts and as Co-Artistic Director of Deuce Theatre, co-written several stage plays. And when I'm not writing, I'm copyediting as a San Diego certified copyeditor.
