Lajaune Lincoln is a London based screenwriter.

In 2009 he co-directed his second written feature ‘Other Side of the Game’ which played at several festivals before an international release in the US, Canada and Australia.

Following the film’s release, Lajaune spent two years participating in film festivals and markets including MIPTV, AFM and Cannes. He used this direct experience of film business as juicy material for future projects.

Sophisticated storytelling with a subversive punch, his work pushes boundaries and challenges expectations; in all, firmly situated in the edgy neighbourhood of commercial’s comfort zone.

Current screenplays include the high concept neo-noir ‘Real Eyes’; industry satire ‘The One That Got Away’ featured in both Screen International and The Hollywood Reporter; sci-fi ‘Mesmetopia’; eighties’ thrillers ‘Dirty District’ and ‘Double Diamonds’; and the psychological thriller ‘Spacek’.

 

Spacek

Psychological thriller

After undergoing a controversial mind transplant, a businessman assumes his new identity, only to learn that his previous life was mired in blackmail, embezzlement, and murder.

Lean, dark and driven forward at a relentless pace, this weaves a gripping web of deceit and manipulation.

The One That Got Away

Industry satire

In Cannes for the last film market he can afford, an unscrupulous sales agent deceives and swindles everyone he knows in a desperate bid to save his ailing career.

Mesmetopia

Sci-fi

After a deadly virus decimates the Earth, the future of mankind rests on the shoulders of a brilliant but maverick doctor who risks everything to discover a vaccine amidst the turmoil of a ruthless political struggle. 

Political intrigue, ruthless ambition and destructive compassion – this is a bleak but compelling reflection of humanity.
