Jody Clark

Jody grew up in the Kittery/York area of southern Maine. He originally started out as a screenwriter, and as of now, he has written 9 feature length screenplays ranging from dramas to dramedies to comedies. Not only did Jody grow up in Maine, but he makes it a point to utilize and represent his state as much as possible. From Maine’s scenic rocky coast, to its remotely pristine backwoods, to its eclectic characters; all serve as backdrops and pay homage to his beloved state. His ultimate goal is not to just sell his scripts, but to have them filmed right here in the great state of Maine.

Unfortunately, searching for the proper financing has been a long, tiring, and at times, disheartening process. Feeling helpless in the whole ‘funding’ process, Jody decided to reverse the typical Hollywood blueprint. That blueprint being: It’s almost ALWAYS a novel that gets turned into a screenplay and not a screenplay which gets turned into a novel. Jody’s thought process was simple: It’s much easier to self-publish a book rather than self-finance a movie, and who knows, maybe, just maybe, this will be a screenplay that gets turned into a book only to eventually get turned back into a movie! But even if this wild idea never comes to fruition, at least by turning it into a novel and self-publishing it, the story itself will be able to be shared by the public.
