About Michael

I have been writing screenplays for years, too many to mention here, with minor successes along the way. The very first script I ever attempted to write attracted the attention of the ICM agency. Submitted, unsolicited, to their literary department, it was Recommended to the head of the department, (Bob Broder), who read it and called me with words of encouragement. A rewritten version of that script eventually placed in the final 30, (out of more than 6,000 submissions), for a Nicholl Fellowship. From there I was hooked and have spent my life trying to get produced. The frustrations have been constant but have always been offset by the victories. Two of my scripts were optioned, I have been hired to write original content for a leading man and I was a writer-in-residence at Vanquish Motion Pictures, (Jay Douglas), where I wrote original content, rewrote existing scripts and wrote adaptations for two novels.
