The 2002 graduate of Lee’s Summit High School is now a resident of Los Angeles, spending time cultivating a script that has been optioned for a movie. Honley has spent the last seven years in the land of LaLa after graduating from the University of Missouri with an MA in English and film. He later earned an MFA in screenwriting from the University of California-Los Angeles. The cultures, just like the cities, are miles apart.
“It’s different,” Honley said recently from his perch in California. “It’s definitely different. I think people are a lot more urgent out here. There is an urgency out here that when I go back home people are a little bit more laid back, a little bit more friendly. It was rough for a while, but it’s been seven years, so I’m getting used to it.” Honley’s script, “Flashback,” was once placed on the ‘Black List’ and named one of the top unmade movie scripts of 2011. He has spent time since re-writing and tightening the once in-demand script.
