Hey everyone, I'm an award winning screenwriter and film director. I'm interested in learning more about the business as I'll be investing in having my screenplays produced. I'm interested in meeting producers, filmmakers and collaborators. I'm keen to executive produce my screenplays but looking for experienced producers to work with. My main focus is to write and direct future projects.
