Who I am:
It was about 2006 when I became interested in screenwriting. At the time I had been bed ridden with cancer for over a year, there were long stretches with nothing but my thoughts. Many people in that situation live meal to meal to break up the day but unable to eat I was living a life far from my then career as a chef. It’s hard to have a creative outlet when you can’t keep you head up long enough to read a page, I grew to live off of Netflix DVDs and radio, appreciating everything from the original G.L.O.W. to Kurosawa’s Sanjuro. For years I had kept notebooks of jokes, ideas, and sketches but never quite knew what to do with them and with the lucid medication induced dreams and nothing to do the ideas were pouring out.
Further on in my recovery came across a book called “The Screenplay Sell: What Every Writer Should Know” by Alan Trustman at the library, I had found a bun to jam my preprocessed hot dog of ideas into.
During the rest of my recovery I wrote my first screenplay, 300 excruciating pages written on “Microsoft Works” about subjects I knew nothing about that was pure garbage. But I loved doing it.
What I’m working on:
Working on my newly formed company, Perasperum LLC.
An obtuse comedic feature (think Monty Python) about the 4 Horsemen returning to the Earth to bring about the apocalypse.
Unique traits: Unique sense of humor and obtuse/introspective view of the world.
