Writer’s Statement

Awaken was the first original screenplay I ever wrote.

Project Materials

In the past screenwriters and authors would make it a point of pride not to steal another person’s work. However, it would seem that the modern breed of screenwriter has no such honor. Hundreds of hours were invested into the creation of these documents. Due to the high level of theft that has happened I have removed all materials from the website. If you would like to explore these documents for business purposes (representation, development) please contact me for details from your organization e-mail address. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
