About Us
Daniel Aznavorian
I wear many hats. I am a script consultant,
a screenplay contest reader, a screenwriter,
a professional proofreader, and a professor
of college writing.
I have a Master's Degree in Film Studies
and Screenwriting from Hollins University.
There I worked under the tutelage of director/screenwriter Mari
Kornhauser (The Last Ride, Housebound), and novelist/screenwriter
Pinckney Benedict (Four Days).
I later worked for the Radmin Company, a literary management
company in Beverly Hills, CA where I dove into piles of newly submitted
scripts in search of diamonds in the rough.
In addition to my work at the Radmin Company, I have also written
screenplay coverage for Film Independent.
I am also a screenwriter. My horror script 50 Hail Marys was recently
optioned by director Matt Hodgkinson at Enigma Studios in Perth,
Australia. My comedy script Amy and the Geeks was also a finalist in
the 2005 Writemovies.com script contest (listed under the original title
Beauty and the Geeks).
Many of the scripts that I have read and recommended have placed in
major contests such as Final Draft's Big Break! International
Screenwriting Contest and the Slamdance Screenplay Competition.
Some recommendations that I've made for the Big Break contest:

C. Duncan
C. Duncan is a post-residency MSW candidate
at the Smith School for Social Work. She
attained her Master’s in English Literature at
Portland State University with a portfolio focus on
Milton, the Romantics, and postmodernism.
In 2002, Duncan received her B.A. in English Literature from Reed
College upon a completion of a thesis on Nathanael West. She has
served as a poetry reader for The Burnside Review, a non-profit poetry
journal in Portland, Oregon, since 2006. Duncan has had her own poetry
and prose published in local NW publications such as Small Press
Collective and Irreverent Fish.
As a high school student her book review was chosen to be published in
the L.A. Times. She won the first prize of the graduate level of the
national Jane Austen contest for an essay on Mansfield Park during her
English graduate studies. Duncan has volunteered as a poetry instructor
for children at local libraries, and is currently employed as a writing
instructor at a local college. She also pursues photography outside of
her work.
She does not like green eggs and ham.
