Key F. Payton

At 28 years in L.A. (mostly in Burbank), I've worked on several hundred projects as a screenwriter, script analyst, script consultant, dramaturge, professional script-formatter, and/or proofreader. Several contest wins along the way, and judged a few contests too.

I've supported my family via all these means, as well as via editing and proofreading novels, magazines, and technical writings in the earthquake-monitoring and cutting-edge medical-device fields.

Widely read and extremely logical (but with strong emotional interweavings), I favor projects that involve "transformative entertainment" and enduring values. Like to think I'm the nicest (but also toughest) critic and collaborator you'll ever work with...
