More Information.

William C. Martell has written 19 films that were carelessly slapped onto celluloid: 3 for HBO, 2 for Showtime, 2 for USA Net, and a whole bunch of CineMax Originals (which is what happens when an HBO movie goes really, really wrong); plus many many more sold screenplays and assignments where he was paid and the movie was never made. He’s been on some film festival juries, including Raindance in London five time, and the late Roger Ebert discussed his work with Gene Siskel on his 1997 “If We Picked The Winners” Oscar show.
