Today, Mark and I finished our first script together. It's called Allatoona Lake.

We are very proud of it and plan to send it out to a few screenwriting competitions to see if it can gain any traction. We'll keep you posted. 

We began working together two months ago and are very glad to see what our collaboration has brought forth. Here's to many more screenplays.

Mark Botts co-authored a play with Bryant Martin entitled The Other Man. Below is a review from www.backstage.com.

The Other Man: A Review by Ron Cohen

In "The Other Man," their first produced play, authors Bryant Martin and Mark Botts have written an often taut if not always convincing thriller-cum–love story, in the process giving Martin a savory meal of a role. The actor plays Tom Donaghy, a young thug from England just released from a New York prison. Facing deportation, Donaghy is desperately searching for his vanished drug-addicted girlfriend Lisa. Not only does Martin's Donaghy sport a tangy cockney accent with generous amounts of rhyming slang; he can be violently threatening one moment, barking orders in a booming voice; funny and sexy the next, gently but confidently flirting with a woman he's just met; and then crushingly sensitive, recalling his early years in an orphanage. Martin melds it all into an impressive performance.
