Always writing, Duncan began to follow that passion professionally and, beginning in 2003, his work began to get some notice. His writings have gained honors at the International Family Film Festival, the Going Green Film Festival, the Woods Hole Film Festival, the ScreenCraft competitions, the New England Emmy Awards, the Spotlight on Rhode Island Screenwriting Competition, the Dixie Kane Memorial Writing Competition (SOLA), and most recently the 2015 Spotlight on New England Screenwriting Competition. Duncan is also the creator of the Emmy Award winning 7DAYPSA competitions, where filmmakers compete by writing, shooting, and editing public service announcements (PSAs) for deserving, local non-profit organizations that provide a needed service to the community. The winning PSA for each non-profit is broadcast for a year by local media sponsors. In 2016, Duncan conceived and created the Children's Hospitals International Film Festival for the non-profit Flickers in partnership with Seacrest Studios to bring wonderful short films from around the world to the young patients in children's hospitals. In 2009, Duncan and longtime friend Andre Stark formed Original Concept & Development Associates to develop and produce their own projects. Currently, they have several television projects in the development and pre-production stages. Their short film/TV pilot, Half Pint, won a Van Gogh Award for best screenplay short film at the 2014 Amsterdam Film Festival. Duncan was born and raised in the small town of Lynnfield, MA on Boston's north shore and spent summers at the lake in Wolfeboro, NH where his parents have lived since 1986. POCKET CHANGE received a nomination for a 2016 New Hampshire Literary Award.
