Lex's short story 'Two Scorpions', a neo-noir crime thriller set in Bangkok, has advanced to the Semi Finals of the Screencraft Short Story Contest 2016, a competition specifically seeking stories with cinematic adaptation potential.
After several years of struggling to maintain two very different voices (genre vs. literary) under the same name, Lex has decided to use a different pseudonym altogether for her literary fiction and poetry. Introducing: Winter Bel.
For the avoidance of all doubt, any writing that is not a screenplay and not genre fiction will now carry the "Winter Bel" signature. This means 'Honeycomb (Pieces On Love)', 'Climbing Scrapyards' and 'Scatterpunk.com' are all now Winter Bel properties -- click on the respective link to be taken to the relocated site for each project. The new site for Winter Bel is WinterBel.info
Going forward, "Lexia Snowe" (increasingly abbreviated to Lex Snowe) exclusively denotes film and TV projects, and genre fiction (including graphic novels).
A delayed announcement, but here goes -- Lexia Snowe's TV pilot OUTBOUND (2015) placed in the Second Round of the Sundance Episodic Storytelling Lab 2015. In the pilot, a specialist US Marshals unit head to Berlin to collaborate with police and German intelligence agencies in a manhunt for an American fugitive. Witness subterfuge and distrust of America complicate progress.
Lexia Snowe's short script, Black and Blue, a 20 minute crime thriller and black comedy, placed in the Semi-Finals of the Screencraft Short Script Contest 2015. Lex is considering shooting the film herself in 2016. For more about films written and directed by Lexia Snowe, see BenthicPictures.com
