I describe myself as a

Fan of film

About me - current project:

About me: Jeff Clifford is a Scottsdale based screenwriter specializing in drama-based scripts with a tragic and sometimes brutal edge. His feature script Path of the Caterpillar has received accolades from twenty film festivals/script competitions. He recently completed a pilot titled, The Faith. Where a man and his family is lured to a small mountain town in Northern California to preach the word of a revolutionary new religion designed to give hope to millions of people. Under the surface lives a militant group hired to protect the agenda of the billionaire donors that created The Faith. Current Project: The intent of Path of the Caterpillar is to place a unique spin on the contract killer subgenre of film. The screenplay focuses on the isolation of Jacob, a harden hitman with a tragic childhood that allowed the evil side of society to lead him down a dark path. Just as Jacob begins to leave his life of isolation behind by forging bonds with his neighbors, he is offered a final contract that will either free him from his life of crime or leave him dead. All while finding true purpose by helping a troubled teen in need of a mentor. I am especially enthusiastic about this project as it chronicles how an individual that should be destined for success can be pulled down a different path by the events of his childhood. It also illustrates the significant cost of redemption by an individual with a criminal past.
