Writer Statement

MAKE ‘MERICA GREAT AGAIN is my first feature script. It is about two Irish-American brothers who were kicked out by their father, then embark on a journey through America as drifters, eventually starting a dangerous career in the circus. The story takes place during the Great Depression.
It took me a year to do the research and another’s to come up with the first draft. I was very excited to dive into the world of the 1930s and navigate my way around it. I am currently working with my artists to produce a rough storyboard for the story, so I can visualize the camera shots better.
