I’m A WORKING SCREENWRITER with iconic hits like Beetlejuice and The Addams Family in my resume, a movie in production, projects in development, plus I’m constantly writing my own screenplays. I understand screenwriting deeply because it’s what I do, not just what I teach.

I was a Creative Executive at Paramount Pictures, working directly with Jeff Katzenberg, the former president of Disney Pictures and founder of DreamWorks. I’ve worked with great writer/directors like James Cameron, Kathryn Bigelow and of course, Tim Burton. I was also a story analyst for every major studio in Hollywood, reading hundreds of scripts.

I’ve taught script writing, script analysis and my specialty, Horror & Fantasy for 30 years at the University of California Los Angeles Extension Program. I’ve taught dozens of private workshops.

What’s unique about my experience is that I’ve worked successfully on “both sides of the desk”. I can help you write your best screenplay and also help you understand how to sell it.

I can teach you how to market your screenplay and yourself...
