Found representaation via Stage 32

After my Stage 32 pitch followed by script submission, I'm excited to share that I've signed with Woolf + Lapin for representation.

I'm grateful to be joining the agency's roster and to be working with Stephan Dubreuil, who will represent Shadow in Hawthorn Bay, as well as my future writing projects....

My "Uptown" Screenplay named a Quarterfinalist in the Stage 32 TV Drama Screenwriting Contest

Always a thrill when a script places! I'm especially proud that this script is a Drama. Congrats to ALL the Quarterfinalists!

Great job @Eric! He did it again! What's the logline for Uptown?

Congratulations, Eric! Drama is a genre that depends so much on strong characters and authentic storytelling, so it's always rewarding to see that work recognized. Wishing Uptown the very best as it continues its journey in the competition.
