Hello Everyone!
My name is James "JD" Botsford and I'm a screenwriter, author, and storyteller based in San Diego, California. I'm thrilled, and a wee nervous to be part of this incredible community and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I've been a writer my entire life — from a hand-illustrated picture book at age eleven, to a published collection of autobiographical short stories to a staged one-act play, and now to screenwriting, which has become my true passion.
In 2024 I completed my first two feature screenplays — I'm Fine and Julian — both Psychological Drama/Thrillers and am currently developing three additional screenplays.
I'm here to connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow writers, filmmakers, and industry professionals who share a love of authentic, human storytelling. I'd love to hear from anyone who wants to connect, share experiences, or simply talk about the craft.
Looking forward to being part of this community!
Cheers,
