Biography

I’m an award-winning action/horror screenwriter working in both the feature world and on projects for television. My work has been recognized by ScreenCraft, Austin Film Festival, The Black List, Filmmatic, The Red List, Launch Pad, Vail Film Festival, and Final Draft Big Break. And while I’m not a comedy specialist, even my scarier stuff tends to be pretty funny—or so I’m told.

THE UNTIMELY DEMISE OF THAT AWFUL DAVID SCHWARTZMAN

Welcome to Hollywood's early 90s indie glory days.
