Thomas Weitzel came all the way from the Lone Star State to La La Land to do what he loves: spin a yarn. After a healthy mix of Bladerunner, Lord of the Rings, and Dragon Ball Z hit his brain in his formative years, its no wonder he leans heavily into science fiction and fantasy with his writing. These days Thomas Weitzel loves to spend his time on scripts, in his voice over booth (closet), petting his cats, and waxing poetically about the beauty of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Thomas is a runner, a gamer, a hiker, and a part-time goof.
A ponderous story about the nature of fate, of man, and the best and worst of what humanity is capable of, Berserk is a story that still resonates today with anyone who searches for meaning amid struggle. Interspersed with magic, action, political intrigue, and interpersonal drama, Berserk has the potential to be the next great fantasy TV show.
