I hope everyone is staying cool this summer.

Speaking of cool- Michael Peter Bolus wrote the feature screenplay “Lines in the Sand” that was both a 2025 Sherman Oaks Film Festival AND Film-Invasion Official Selection and he was kind enough to come chat about it.

He also has a feature film, entitled A SENSE OF DREAD that was just released by Indie Rights in July, and his latest book, ENTANGLEMENT, a Sci-Fi Novella has just been published and is available on AMAZON.
