Chicago, United States
Analyst 9-5, writer/director at all points before and after.
Character-centric writer who's a whiz with dialogue. I like to find people at a specific point in their life, how they got there and how they deal with the consequences of their actions.
I funded, cast, lensed and released a web series in under a calendar year. You can watch "Confessions of a Superhero" on YouTube in its entirety.
My latest short film, "The Executioner's Dilemma" is currently on the festival circuit and can be viewed on YouTube.
My original screenplay "The Merc: Fake Tales of a Real Man" was optioned by Pause 'n' Rewind LLP in December 2017 with a Fall 2018 production date
