Site Introduction

This site is one writer’s thoughts on Austin, film and the sweet science of screenwriting. I by no means have all the answers, but as I continue to figure things out I will pass along what I learn. Also, I’m just a huge cinephile, so expect a ton of cool film ramblings as well. I will also be offering script consultation services with very competitive prices soon.
