The Writer: Jordan D. Romero

Hi, I'm Jordan Destiny Romero from Los Angeles, California. The film industry and the behind-the-scenes magic have always fascinated me. I'm a writer and a forward thinker, invariably dreaming about the next best film or television series. I love film and everything about film. I don't have a favorite movie, but I love romance, young adult, sci-fi, supernatural, superheroes, and crime. Every story has a new world to discover, and every genre is a new savory flavor. I'm a writer on a journey of self-discovery. Definitely some meaty, substantive storylines and exciting dramatic potential. Great work!
