About Me...
NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING.
Not one person in the entire motion picture
field knows for a certainty what's going to
work. Every time out it's a guess-- and, if
you're lucky, an educated one.
- Willam Goldman
I am a professional screenplay writer. My current
credit, THE CONNECTION, is set to be filmed in 1999/2000.
I have also provided script analyses for people from
both major and independent film studios.
I am a professional English instructor,
certified in three states. I've evaluated thousands of
essays, research papers, creative stories, poems, and I
have judged several competitions.
Since writing screenplays, I've thoroughly studied
and applied the screenwriting methods of format, structure,
story development, and character development as taught by
some of the biggest guru names in screenwriting literature:
Syd Field: Screenplay and
A Screenwriter's Problem Solver
David Trottier: The Screenwriter's Bible
William Goldman: Adventures in the Screen Trade
Vicki King: How to Write a Movie in 21 Days
Adhering to the tried-and-true principles of screenplay
writing as put forth in these texts, the first script I had
ever written was optioned within only THREE MONTHS of my
completeing it!
My producer was astounded by the script's readability
and faithfulness to the rules of script writing. Until she
had received mine, she had been mailed "scripts full of crap"!
A script so conforming made her job of selecting a project
that much easier!
