Rick Tobin
LOVE IS SCARY FOR SCREENWRITER RICK TOBIN >>>
Rick Tobin's dark work shall soon see the light of day. The shooting of Tobin's horror short, The Resolution, is scheduled to commence July 31, with Rick Walters of Tacoma-based production company Adventus Films directing. In the tradition of films like Four Rooms and Twilight Zone: The Movie, this project will eventually appear as a feature-length anthology with three other shorts (also written by Tobin) called ...in my best Vincent Price tones... Twisted Tales of Madness and Murder. Sounds spookier than Shark Week.
Auburn-born and now living in Federal Way, Tobin spends his days as a mild-mannered repairer of safety appliances on freight trains, yet at nightfall he hammers away on, well, twisted tales like Resolution. The script follows a jilted lover who sets in motion a fiendish plan of comeuppance for his former girl. Tobin calls it "a revenge story with a twist."
The screenwriter has a soft spot for plots that pile on surprises and toy with an audience's expectations. His writing emulates classics in textbook suspense like John Carpenter's The Thing. Recalling that movie Tobin says, "From start to finish, I thought it was great the way the characters were developed, the way the story unfolded."
When completed, The Resolution will tour festivals with hopes to build buzz for Twisted Tales.

I have read many of Rick Tobin's scripts. He has a style that makes me hold my breath and physically feel tense. I love his twist and turns, that is what makes his scripts screen worthy. He is a a family man, a friend, an awesome writer and a true lover of gore. I will be first in line to see The Resolution on the big screen!!

I, too, have worked with Rick on writing projects, he has an ability to make the mundane frightening. I know anything that he touches will be filled with excitement and plot twists that will surprise you around every dark corner of his script. I look forward to seeing The Resolution when released to the big screen!
