The Writer: Meik Fischer

- Screenwriter - I've met many interesting people on my travels, but I've also seen things I wish I hadn't. Somehow humanity tends to be drawn to the darker side of things. They often ignore the beauty that surrounds them. I write dark stories because once they're finished, they make my soul feel a little brighter. Maybe someday I'll even write a comedy. Go to bio
