My Writing Journey
I began writing over fifteen years ago, finishing my first feature script back in 2009. Once I started, I honestly got hooked. My one man show, "The Battle of Bridgeport", premiered in 2017 at the People's Improv Theater. I have since turned it into a feature screenplay. My short "Meet Happy Vlad! Your Comrade News Interpreter" that I wrote, directed, and starred in premiered at the 2019 Burbank International Film Festival. I have written several award-winning screenplays (see below).
