About WestCoastScreenwriting
When they met many years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, co-founder Brian Paisley was busy creating the Edmonton Fringe Festival that kicked off the Canadian Fringe Theatre movement; Keith was an associate director at The Citadel Theatre, and Director of the Citadel on Wheels/Wings school touring troupe. Their love of both screenwriting and teaching lead to a twenty-year collaboration in both. Their co-written 'claustrophobic thriller, TRUNK (Chiaro Productions, 2014) premiered at the Victoria International Film Festival, and is in the hands of an international film distributor.
Sadly, Brian passed away earlier this year.
Keith now carries the torch they both lit, keeping Brian's legacy alive.
Since their first meeting, Keith spent his time as Artistic Director of two regional theatres, then taught English and Drama at Brentwood College School... and wrote screenplays and series TV...
Recently, his Flash-Fiction piece, After Life, was shortlisted in a Federation of BC Writers' National competition.
He is currently working with CentreMedia ( UK) on a historical adventure feature script .
