My screenwriting has gained interest and kudos from agencies, production companies, agents, and directors in Hollywood. I worked with, and have been mentored by, many film industry professionals and have adapted a screenplay into a series of novelettes for the Young Adult market. My screenplay, ICE COLD, has been optioned multiple times and has received very favorable feedback from Parkway Productions, Renfield Productions, FR Productions, George Litto Productions, Palomar Pictures, Director General (Canada), Numenorean Films, Anonymous Content, and the agent for director Will Gluck. ICE COLD placed in the top 12% of the 2007 Austin Film Festival’s screenplay competition (as MY WORLD) and was inspired by actual events. I’ve requested financing from major Silicon Valley CEOs. I was a screenplay judge for Selling to Hollywood Conference and a panelist at the Poppy Jasper Film Festival.
