Screenwriter
Joe Borg has written a wealth of original and genre-bending feature, TV and short screenplays, all of which have reached the final stages in reputable global screenwriting competitions. His feature Sundays Only was also named Feature Winner in the BlueCat Screenplay Competition in 2020. A prolific writer with a natural flair, Joe creates unique stories with mass commercial appeal. Although his scripts differ in genre and format, the common thread through them all is his unique take on the human condition; often with a subtle blend of comedy, and characters that jump off the page. His short drama Cursive was screened at BFi FLARE and his comedy short OCD & Chips is currently on the festival circuit.
