Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure I introduced myself once before, but I got the email, so I figured I would say hello again. I love pretty much all things creative, but nothing beats breathing life into a character or story. I grew up in the great state of Ohio, but I moved out to Orange County about fi...

Hi there, Every journey starts with a first step. THE TRANSMUTANT has taken that first tentative step by making the quarter finals of the Annual Stage 32 Happy Writers Feature Contest.

Thanks for the add, Malcolm! Have a great weekend!
If you were offered a speaking role on a project but there was no pay, would you be willing to work for an IMDb credit and a Taft-Hartley or are you dead set against non-paid projects? Let me hear you.
