I'm the author of twenty feature scripts, one of which, "Robot Love," has been sold through Script Revolution. I'm an audience-oriented writer, which means that I emphasize the interests of the audience over the dictates of the screenwriting formulas. I'm attracted to drama but I have a strict "no fake drama" rule in my writing. I have a number of scripts that are especially well-suited to the streaming platforms.
Audiences are looking for something special that’ll make them feel more alive, and that’s exactly the same thing I’m looking for when I’m writing. This is why I feel so in sync with the audience. We’re on the same mission. As all writers should be.
