About Nigel

An introvert with an outward curiosity for life. I'm a talented and accomplished writer with a unique perspective. With a background in producing music for famed recording artist Vybz Kartel, I've honed my craft through online masterclasses and workshops and gained recognition in several prestigious competitions, including the Nashville Film Festival Screenwriting Competition, the 26th Fade In Awards, Scriptapalooza, the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards, the Filmmatic Drama Screenplay Awards, the Big Apple Film Festival, and Screenplay Competition, Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards and the Los Angeles Film Awards where I was an award winner and honorable mention. I've also collaborated with industry professionals like feature film producer Mark Heidelberger, who served as a development consultant on "The Odd Son." excited to share its script with the industry and am committed to bringing the unique and moving exploration of tolerance, acceptance, and second chances in the script to the screen.
