About me

I received a double BA in English Literature and Spanish at the University of Oregon before earning my MFA at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema-Television. My award winning science-fiction film "Wide Awake in Nothing" screened at numerous festivals worldwide, had a multi-year run on the Independent Film Channel(IFC) and can currently be seen on the DUST YouTube channel as part of the USC Student Film week. Another award winning film I wrote and directed, "Just Ask…" garnered five prestigious Awards of Excellence from the Accolade Global Film Competition, Indie Fest Awards and Best Shorts Competition and the Best Short Film award at the New York Festival of New Cinema. I have produced, written, shot and directed a number of other award winning films(narrative and documentary), a web based sit-com and more. My screenwriting work includes original screenplays, as well as working as a freelance screenwriter, script doctor and editor. I have been commissioned to write and/or rewrite feature film and television screenplays for a variety of production companies in Los Angeles, New York, London and Athens. My original sports comedy script, "Swing Away," which I also executive produced and served as additional unit director, filmed in Rhodes, Greece and starring Shannon Elizabeth and John O’Hurley, is currently available on VOD, DVD and Showtime.
