Bio
I just want to paint pictures with words. I'm a film dweeb with a passion for narratives and fiction. It meant the world growing up, I hope I can make others care in turn.

The Three Cs
Ask me about a perfect partner and I wouldn’t know how to respond. That answer is buried somewhere under a revolting quantity of more important questions, for example – what’s my favorite snack while gaming? Well, it has to be something that leaves me less inclined to leave a trail of fingerprints on my controller. Another character defining question, flight powers or ability to breathe under water? Come on, Mariana’s Trench has been such sleep-depriving mystery, why would I pass that up? Cthulhu is real, prove me wrong. And lastly, what makes a perfect show/film, worthy of recommendation? This right here is the question any self-respecting writer would cross their legs over, push their glasses to the bridge of their nose and remark, “you chose the red pill, huh.” This question is loaded. Six-chambers deep into analytical composites, compound understanding and complete and utter indulgence. Afterall, this is opinion. But thinking deeply keeps me from getting existential with other matters in life, so without further delay, let’s get to it.

Post/Life/Script Chapter 1: Grave Ideas The contest invitation was linked to an anonymous email. Twenty-thousand-dollar prize money for a fictional story about something that terrifies you. Simple enough, all Levi needed was a day to sit and meander through a grave of memories, ideas and concepts he never executed, in hopes of coming up with something. It would be that simple if not for that one glooming thing. There’s a block and it’s angry, insipid but seen and it cast a great shadow over him. It taps at the base of his senses causing discomfort on every level. It makes it difficult to put words into sentences, sentences into paragraphs. Everything’s fragmented and distorted. The weight is agonizing.
