I began a career in screenwriting in 1993 thinking this was the only way to make money out of writing. I made some money. I also learned that to make money from writing you have to produce PRODUCT. That did not make me happy. In 1999 I began a parallel career, taking the means of production into my own hands, directing and producing short films. Now that technology has caught up with us all and YouTube rules the world, I've abandoned this ship and retired both from writing and making films. I'm just living my life and it's much more rewarding.

It is in the nature of screenwriting that you write lots of scripts that never get made. That was one of the things I hated about it, that and having to compromise ones work time after time. But it means I have a pretty extensive archive of screenworks, which sooner or later I'll get to listing up here. When time permits I shall publish them via HoAm Presst.
