Short screenplays

Three festival-honored shorts. Pitches keep the secrets — stills from each film project set the mood.

The Mars Effect

On the surface of the Red Planet, one specialist is living the dream — until Mars starts answering back. A quirky, unsettling short about obsession, isolation, and how far a world’s pull can reach when you’ve waited your whole life to stand on its dust.

Short comedy · Indie Gathering 2022

On Sale

A bargain-hunter takes his grandfather’s hard-earned lesson about “good deals” to its most grotesque extreme. A wickedly funny short about yard sales, family wisdom, and the true cost of a steal — when everyone still loves thirty percent off.

A teenage boy in a denim jacket walks a crowded night fair mid-path between lit carnival tents and food stalls.

Short fantasy · Horror Hotel 2023

UnGenesis

At a night fair thick with lights and noise, an unsuspecting teen brushes against a box from another realm — one that undoes more than it creates. A short fantasy of carnival glow, hidden rites, and the uneasy reverse of creation.

Stylized portrait of J. Solomon Kostelnik

The maker

Hey, I’m Solomon!

Solomon is my name and I’ve been a creative from my youth. From drawing all sorts in grade school, to writing poetry during high-school study hall as an outlet for life’s perplexities, to authoring 300+ page meaning-of-life books, I’ve enjoyed creating for both myself and others. Fiction & non-fiction, prose & poetry, art, photography, and more--I hope you enjoy it all! And if you’re interested in seeing a synopsis or optioning/purchasing anything for production or publishing, contact me here.

Welcome to my creative zone! If you can’t tell, I love the number three. ;)

Fiction has always drawn me into other worlds, where I can experience things I’d never see or do in “real life.” Whether that meant writing stories, drawing characters, watching film, reading books, or playing video games, the “made-up” world has always been a friend of mine.
