About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Communications or Media
Occupation	Univ./College Professor/Freelance Writer
Location	San Antonio, TX, United States
Introduction	I'm the guy who wishes he had an uncle working as an exec at a major film studio, that way I'd have that fabled "access" to what I should really be doing with my life: writing mediocre to decent films that either go straight to DVD or soon after hitting the local multiplex! In other words, I'm a bitter screenwriter with no access, no real connections, and no money. But I've watched way too many films (some way too much) to let that bitterness wipe out the love I have for films, both good and bad. I've also seen the "man behind the curtain" as it pertains to the filmmaking process--an MFA in screenwriting will quickly jade even the most green newbie, lemme tell ya! Right now I teach Mass Media classes at Northwest Vista College and Screenwriting classes at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX. In the meantime, I plan on getting to those script rewrites I've been putting off as well as a few new script ideas I've been chewing on for awhile. But all in good time... All in good time...
Interests	Mass Media and its many, many forms, but I've always had a special place in my heart for films.
