About Jerry
I am a non-WGA screenwriter with four produced feature films, including Catch The Bullet (Lionsgate), The Legend of Lake Hollow (Vision Films), End Zone (World One Productions), and Billy The Kid – Blood and Legend (Third Child Entertainment). A multi-optioned writer, I have completed 29 screenplays across multiple genres, with several winning Best Screenplay awards and placing in competitions such as the Academy Nicholl Fellowship (Quarterfinalist – Jimmy and the Towering Tree).
Earlier in my career, I wrote over 480 audio drama episodes for The Colonial Radio Theatre, including four collaborations with Ray Bradbury. My work aired on Sirius XM Radio for eight years, reaching audiences worldwide.
I specialize in character-driven storytelling with commercial appeal, bringing strong narratives and audience engagement to both feature films and television.
