Introduce Yourself : Actor and screenwriter from Curitiba, Brazil by Jacob Gallahon

Hello everyone! I'm an actor and screenwriter from Curitiba, Brazil. As an actor I've done short films, a music video and recently I had a lead role in an indie movie (which is now in post-production). As a screenwriter I've developed 2 TV shows (I'm currently working on the second) and wrote 2 short films, one of them nominated for the "best screenplay" award in a local festival - it's a story about a blind 10 year-old boy who runs away from home and his abusive father (our lead 10 yo actor won the "best actor" award in that same festival).

Oh, I'm autistic and being an actor and a screenwriter (i.e., storyteller) was one of my childhood dreams. Here in Brazil it's not so easy - and it's usually a lot expensive - to learn and to work in this area, so only now as an adult I'm being able to achieve those goals. But I'm really glad to finally see that dream coming true. Nice to meet you all. :)
