Attended film school. Gravitated towards screenwriting after I wrote some shorts and commercials for other students for their projects and became very popular and in great demand, so much so that I was staying up every night to write the projects for other students while also working on my own projects for school.
Worked as a script reader, and also was a personal reader for a well-known Director/Producer/Writer. I read some very good scripts, his and studio scripts, as well as some horrendously bad scripts that were being greenlit, which actually made me angry. I felt I could write much better scripts than the really bad ones that were actually being greenlit.
Started writing my own scripts and entering some film festivals in the screenplay category. I experienced immediate success, then boom. I was hit by a drunk driver and was critically injured. I spent well over a year in recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, further delaying my full recovery. However, I made a full recovery and started writing again and entering film festivals. I have experienced some well-deserved major success as well as some extremely bitter disappointments.
Even though I have won film festivals I am like any "unknown" writer and have found great difficulty in getting anyone at all to read my entertaining and high-quality scripts. The more festivals I can win, the more credence it gives to the high quality of my screenplays and writing ability.
I take great pride in my work. I take my writing very seriously and I work very hard at it. I am very dedicated to writing entertaining and excellent screenplays. I enter film festivals to promote my work in hopes of being able to present my festival winning screenplays to directors, producers, and talent. The more wins I garner in festivals the more it helps me when shopping my screenplays to the directors, producers, and talent. Entering film festivals is very expensive, especially with no guarantees. I work 60 hours per week in order to cover the cost of the festival submission fees. I take great offense when a festival marks my script "Not Accepted" because I know they didn't bother to read the script and I know the high-quality of my scripts. I fully expect to win every festival I enter. This is not ego in anyway, this is unwavering confidence in both my scripts and writing ability.
