Currently, I have optioned 10 features and shorts in various
genres: animation, comedy, drama, horror, and suspense/thriller. I have won or placed (finalist, semi-finalist, and quarter-finalist)
in nearly 30 contests in the past 18 months.
I have a certificate from Emerson College's Graduate Screenwriting Program, and was a script reader for Scout
Productions for two years.
I have a co-creation agreement with Studio 407 to develop my horror script THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST into a comic book series & graphic novel. I have also self-published
a horrror anthology series based on my short film scripts called COLD BLOODED CHILLERS.
