About James

Jim's deep understanding of character-driven narrative comes from a master’s degree in literature and over two decades of experience as an educator.

With polished feature-length screenplays like "Turning Two" (grand prize winner in the 2012 Shoot In Philadelphia Screenwriting Competition) and original TV pilots like "zTv" (sci-fi mashup of zombies and reality TV), "Coming and Going" (a romantic dramedy with a dark twist) and "Homer" (a modern day retelling of The Odyssey set in the world of minor league baseball), he is ripe for representation and primed for production.

Multi-season outlines, pitch decks and bibles are ready to go to.
