I am a writer and director. I am looking for opportunities that will allow me to practice my craft. I have already had a couple of jobs doctoring scripts so I am familiar with the process and I enjoy it. I am also very talented at putting somebody else’s ideas down into script form. I can write my own material and I have several ides for drama/comedy/horror films. I have also written for television. I have written/directed for both sketch variety shows and internet sitcoms.

I can:
-write original works
-doctor scripts
-help flesh out ideas
-Punch up comedies
-whatever you are looking for when it comes to writing.
-Acting
-Some Production Work
