About Bryce
Screenwriter/High School Video Teacher/Kick-Ash Barbecuer/Suburban Doomsday Prepper
I joined Stage 32 because I’m looking for ‘my people’ and this is one step closer. Every group I’ve been in—their eyes glaze over when I talk screenwriting, so I’m anxious to finally find my writer’s group paradise. I LOVE writing and reading scripts and especially helping other writers—often injecting stand-up comedy creativity.
I’ve written over twenty-five feature screenplays, several shorts, and four TV pilots + Bibles (action-adventures, epics, science fictions, dramas, comedies, animation, and war). I’m always working my education to make my scripts freakishly awesome: reading tons of screenwriting books and scripts, attending upper-level classes and webinars. I've learned tons and I'm always willing to talk to anyone in need.
I’ve written, directed, and produced one full-length teen drama feature, co-written another zombie horror feature, and wrote, directed, and produced a third teen religious drama (that fizzled out during the last week of filming). I’ve also received many awards for my screenplays and teleplays from the small and medium competitions—breaking into the larger ones now.
I’m a West-Coast guy who’s lived in the valley all his life, except for a two-year stint living in Mexico City, (I would say my Spanish is at an intermediate level), and I’ve been to the Cannes Film Festival in France, (which was awesome—I mean, the food, the people, the city… holy freakin’ cow).
I graduated from Fresno State University: English Literature, have a master’s degree: Multi-Cultural Communication, and recently completed upper-level coursework and programs at Coverage Ink, Screenwriting University, ScreenwritingU (with a focus on Television ProSeries, Master Screenwriter Certificate, and Bingeworthy TV) and Corey Mandell (Professional Screenwriter and Organic Story Structure) workshops.
I am currently teaching screenwriting, video production, and filmmaking at Frontier High School in Bakersfield, California, and have professionally taught secondary students for 26 years. And now I’m here—all this experience, all this knowledge, all the work—grindin’ until the wee hours of the mornings, and I’m ready to fly—I’m ready to really really write—put me in coach!
You interested? Then let’s make something happen. You. Me. Them. Everybody…everybody. (Cue the music to my FAVORITE FILM EVER: The Blues Brothers—'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love’ by Bert Berns, Solomon Burke and Jerry Wexler, Atlantic Records in 1964).
