ChrisFultonCoopPicThe New Brunswick Filmmakers Coop’ e-news points its focus on Chris Fulton’s screenwriting process for Owl River Runners in this week’s Spotlight.

Chris delves into the challenges and triumphs he has encountered crafting the script that will become the feature film.

“A couple years ago Danny came to me with a 30-odd page script called Owl River Runners. There was a lot to like. It had a sense of place, an opening sequence that was a gripper, and (most of all) it had The Girl. A real spitfilre of a protagonist named Jaime. A pleasure to write dialogue for, and definitely a girl I’d have been enchanted by and terrified of in high school,”
