A 27 year old man with a CPA and financial background pursuing writing/directing/other/any opportunities in the entertainment industry. Some may call it a brave paradigm shift, others will call it a desperate crisis of career. Both would be correct.

Writer of short screenplay "Pitchers" - a second rounder in the Austin Film Festival and Bronze Award Winner in the International Independent Film Awards. A lifetime lover of film, television, and all other storytelling mediums. 

Beyond excited to mingle and connect with people who share my passions and sensibilities. Hoping to network to an uncomfortably heavy degree, and to leave AFF with contacts, knowledge, and maybe even a renewed sense of purpose that accelerates a shift out of the finance?

..... please?
