I’m a black screenwriter who realized his love for writing at an early age. I managed to make it out of the affluent Chicago suburbs to only land myself on the humble streets of North Philly. I specialize in writing sports dramas and I am a 5x 2nd Rounder at the Austin Film Festival. My AFF 2nd Rounder, GENTRY (feature), was a Semi-finalist in the 2022 Stowe Story Labs Fellowship. GENTRY also earned a score of 8 on the Blcklst.
