Writing

Everything I create starts with an idea, and writing is where those ideas take shape.

Screenplays, stories, and notes are where I discover what I’m really trying to say. I keep old work around not because it’s perfect, but because it reminds me how much I’ve grown and where today’s ideas came from.

Writing has stayed with me because it is the one discipline that every other creative pursuit depends on. Whether I’m writing a screenplay, outlining a YouTube video, or planning an album, writing is where vague ideas become concrete enough to build.

Featured Screenplay for August 2026:

Eastbound & Down: All-star
1/2 hr Comedy Spec. Episode
Written February 2016
Logline: Kenny tries to show April how responsible he has become by agreeing to umpire the local little league all-star game.

Reflections on Rereading: This is the most unhinged I have ever been as a writer. I had totally forgotten the plot, jokes, etc. so there were quite a few times I surprised myself with the insanity. Writing for Kenny is great because you just have another character say something and then come up with the most jackass response and that is what Kenny says. Interestingly this is one of the scripts that got me to the interview round for UCLA screenwriting grad program.

I also happened to find the original outline for this script. You can check it out below if you want to compare.

Featured Screenplay for July 2026:

Crisis Zone
1 hr drama pilot
Written July 2015
Genre: Medical Drama
Logline: A young surgeon leaps at the opportunity to join an NGO that specializes in emergency medicine and search and rescue in the wake of natural disasters, and learns if this is the path she’s been waiting to follow.

Reflections on Rereading: This was my most successful script as far as getting producers, agents, actors etc. to read it. It’s still a viable idea, medical drama with disaster of the week instead of patient of the week. I would also say this is the most “network TV” of any of my original series pilots.
