Breanne Mattson’s “Tormentor” Optioned Through InkTip

Richard Schwartz and Producer/Director F. Javier Gutierrez optioned the feature script Tormentor from Breanne Mattson, and are currently developing the property as an official untitled F. Javier Gutierrez project.

This is a big step for writer Breanne. Although she’s had a couple short films produced, a couple of independently optioned feature scripts and has been hired as a writer onto a couple other projects, this is her first “Hollywood” option at the studio-level. While describing “Tormentor,” a thriller with sci-fi elements, Breanne related the following: “It involves time travel but it’s actually a rather simple and straightforward story. It raises questions about life and death that I don’t think any movie of its type has ever done before…” Congratulations to Breanne Mattson!
