My primary pursuit in writing is screenwriting. I have written over 10 screenplays (a few with my friends).
Four of my scripts have advanced in various screenwriting competitions.
A short story I wrote advanced in two screenwriting competitions specified for literary works as well.
The accolades for each will be below… My Coverfly page is here.

Film Articles
Another period of my writing journey included writing film articles for Hollywood Insider.
I wrote articles on various topics, including profiles (Stephen King, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Logan, +…), Top 10 lists (i.e., Tearjerker films, Martial Arts films, Movies with animals, +…), and various other features on the industry or other facets of Cinema.
Many were also converted to video features for Hollywood Insider’s YouTube channel.
I will list my top five favorite articles below – not including the ones above. For my profile with all my articles, check out my author page at Hollywood Insider.
