About

Morten Savage is a screenwriter and filmmaker whose characters look for meaning in unexpected places.

He received an MFA in Screenwriting from UNC School of the Arts and a BA in English Literature from the University of Georgia. His short film, TROPICAL GARDENS, about a loner chasing the record at a local mini golf course, played at the Riverrun International Film Festival, the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival, and others. It also won Gold at the Spotlight Short Film Awards.

After a lengthy sojourn writing obscure technical documents for a marketing agency, he is currently making the leap into feature filmmaking. His script OVER THE WAVES, about love and loneliness by way of the internet, is in pre-production after receiving an Artist Grant from the Metropolitan Arts Council in Greenville, SC.

While he is not currently on social media, he would love to connect via email.
