After a successful career in marketing and promotions for several major studios including Disney, MGM and CBS, I am now navigating the transition to writer producer. For more, please see my Stage 32 article "Scaling the Studio Wall" by clicking link at lower right of this page. I cannot delete "producer" from my profile head shot. All screenwriters are producers in that they need to promote themselves. But I am not a producer in the sense I can option scripts. I am cousins with the venture capitalist that helped found Legendary Pictures with Tomas Tull. Tull divested his ownership years ago at the time I stated "producer".
Unique traits: Good at dissecting scripts from the studio perspective in regards to genre and target audience. Creating one sheets, having won 10 Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards while at Disney.
