Please Remain Calm
Crash landing an aircraft high above the Colorado River to balance on the rim of the Grand Canyon is easy, defying the laws of gravity to get out alive will be hard. With nowhere to go but down, a tour pilot and his passenger will discover that when a bad day gets worse, it’s always good to remain calm.

OFFICIAL SELECTION
My first job as a storyteller was as a designer doing brand development for companies such as Symantec, Polaroid, Virginia Power, Cole Haan, Zildjian Cymbals, and The Harvard Business School. My career took me to design firms in Houston and Boston, then I opened my own firm as a cofounder of BrandTank in San Francisco.
I made a career change to aviation in 2001. I built my flight time flying Grand Canyon tours, flew corporate charters throughout the Southwest, and then moved on to jets. I hold multiple type ratings in turbo prop and turbo fan aircraft, and my total number of takeoffs matches my total number of landings--except for that one time.
In 2020 I enrolled in the College of Fine Arts, Department of Film, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I focused on screenwriting classes in both the Graduate, and Undergraduate Programs.
To get production experience on set I worked as a sound mixer doing location sound. Now I freelance as a photographer shooting production stills for music videos and film productions. I write as much as I can between projects, it keeps me out of the heat.
My name is Sherman, I am a writer living in the Vegas Valley in Southern Nevada. My area of fascination is creating action-adventure stories about men and women who live with risk.
