Writer Biography - Cole Sexton

This is where I share a bit about myself to make myself seem appealing, marketable, and all around affable. Well, I'll be the first to say I'm not sure I'm any of those things, mainly because I picked these words out from a random business word generator. That being said, I don't have much professional screenplay writing experience. This would be a great jumping off point! So if you like what you read, from this Oakland, CA based writer, let's have a chat.

Writer Statement

At some point in time, we may start considering what kind of legacy we'll leave behind. Some have children, others will start a foundation of some kind, and others will be fortunate enough to leave vast fortunes. However, once that that legacy is left, what to do with it is left up to the inheritors. They're the ones left to steer the ship and make the legacy left to the last for future generations.
Brilliant Acts - Under the Viel is that kind of story told from the perspective of a dynasty that has always somehow managed to come back to the magic regardless of whatever strife, struggle, or snare they get entangled in. Sometimes legacies can be more of a bane that boon, but ultimately, it's what we decide to carry something, even something that seems burdensome, on with us to make brighter and better futures for ourselves.
