Bio
Story, Liberty, and Ćevapi
|
I'm a multi-optioned and commissioned screenwriter, director, editor, and former automation technician (if your BMW i3 falls apart, you can thank me). After three years of telling industrial CPUs what to do, I finally saved up enough money to pay for film school at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, California.
My experience with robotics and automation helps to add an authentic feel to my screenplays as I write high concept material in the sci-fi, fantasy, action, and action-adventure genres. The stories reflect a multicultural upbringing and the challenges it brings (often more challenges than benefits), though entertainment and the audience are at the forefront. A good story must deliver the elixir (or catharsis) to audiences. I also serve as a creative director and writer for independent comics, bringing cinematic sensibilities to the graphic medium. In Los Angeles, I co-founded Palladia Pictures, a production company specializing in high-concept, elevated genre films. Currently, two features are in pre-production. My motto is 'Story, Liberty, and Ćevapi.' Life is suffering, but Ćevapi helps you transcend it (usually when you shuffle off this mortal coil through heart disease and clogged arteries). |
