Hello Everyone, I am a writer and filmmaker with a rather unique background and skill set. I am a husband, father, college graduate and former Olympic Trials wrestler who found this new career path. I achieved all of this in spite of being born with Cerebral Palsy.
I have written 3 screenplays which are based upon my life experience over the generations. I am looking for partners/investors/production companies in order to get my films made.
I have also written a yet to be published book which is a conglomeration of the 3 screenplays.
Lastly, I did complete a documentary short tiled “Imperfect”, which can be found on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/890504555. “Imperfect” is the story of two sons (James III and Christian Lynch) and how that story is intertwined with their special needs father (James Jr.).
Please, feel free to reach out @ writingandproduction@gmail.com or on this forum, if you would like to hear more about or get involved with these projects.
NEVER BE SATISFIED!
Jim

Wow Jim LYnch incredible story. I love that you don't let Cerebral Palsy hold you back from pursuing your goals. Wrestling builds serious mental toughness i.e. resilience. That must be where you get that tenacity from. Congratulations on completing 3 screenplays. I love that you pulled from personal experience. These are the unique stories we need to hear more often.
