Screenwriting Experience

Many production students at LMU have a lot of passion to produce content, but not a lot of content to produce. That's where I come in.

​

Over the course of the last 3 years I have written over 20 short films, of which I have distributed to my peers. From there, my production major peers pick and choose their favorites scripts to then produce. Production majors need reels, reels come from short films, short films come from scripts, and I write scripts.

​

Overall I like working with scripts. More specifically, the elements of pre-production, when a project is thiiis close to getting greenlit but just needs one more set of eyes.

 

Below is a list of links to the completed short films I've written and have been produced by the students of Loyola Marymount University.
