About Heath

I am a Canadian-American screenwriter, produced and published playwright, author, and actor. I hold a BA in Theatre/Acting and an MFA in Creative Writing/Screenwriting. Thinking about getting a Ph.D. just for the hell of it. No. No, I'm not. That's not true. I'm done with school. But Dr. Houseman does sound nice. Produced and published playwright, screenwriter, and freelancer. I studied acting at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, west coast. I've worked on the stage and in the television and film industry as an actor and artistic director. Freelance work includes copyediting, proofreading, and manuscript critiques (critical evaluations/covers of new works) for the Los Angeles Theatre Center, Bifrost Pictures, and a motley crew of screenwriters, playwrights, authors, and dreamers.

Unique traits: Dark comedic sense of humor. Nonconformist. Lover of Guinness.
