Hi! Rep'ed #screenwriter here, who like many others, have come close to staffing in TV writers rooms if not for a change in leadership at so and so network or general industry turmoil. Yet! Here I am, looking to staff all the same, because the commitment to writing never stops. Here's a bit about me
What are my fellow #screenwriters working on? #scriptsky

Since SINNERS is doing so well (it's fucking awesome), I thought I'd throw out my 1hr, supernatural pilot MAGICAL NEGRO that vibes with it. This script got me my rep and won the 2023 Set in Philly Prime Time TV Pilot award sponsored by Comcast and NBC Universal
