Hi there! I'm Shia and I am a screenwriter and producer who also occasionally writes songs for films. I live in Oakland, California ("WEST SIDE!!!"). I have authored 7.5 features, one pilot, and various shorts, including Curdled, which screened at nine film festivals. I mostly keep my head down writing and, as of late, pitching a bit. (I need to do something with all of these scripts and ideas!) Anyway, onward and upward to us all. May the connections here be fruitful and may projects multiply!

Nice to meet you! Have you ever considered writing songs for theater musicals? I could totally use someone with that talent! :))

I actually HAVE considered it but never really had a reason to. I would love to chat. By the way... I take you seriously! (Per your bio) :-)

I love that you have 7.5 features... not 7, not 8, but 7.5
To be even more accurate, Brian, I have 7.25. I just finished act 1. But you know, we bolster ourselves in intros. LOL... By the way... I LOVE Get Shorty!

Hi Shia - nice to meet you.
I shot a web series in West Oakland in 2016... lots of great little places to eat there.
