About Jerry
Represented by Stephanie Rogers & Associates.
I've had two features produced (Catch The Bullet - Lionsgate, and The Legend of Lake Hollow - Vision Films / Penumbra Entertainment. I have also had numerous options, festival wins, and have completed 28 screenplays.
I began writing in the world of audio dramas, completing 480 scripts (all produced - features and series episodes) that were hosted on Sirius/XM Radio for eight years with Colonial Radio Theatre. Almost all are still available on CD and in all the major download stores.
In that time, with the Colonial Radio Theatre, I was fortunate to have collaborated with Ray Bradbury, William Luce, and Walter Koenig on various audio productions. I adapted one of my audio dramas into a screenplay, which later resulted in my leaving audio behind to write exclusively for film - my true passion.
My screenplay resume includes drama, westerns, Romcoms, animated musicals, horror, thriller, comedy, action-adventure.
I love old movies (especially anything with Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Garbo, Claudette Colbert, and Donald Duck), history (my great grandfather x7 was the famed Giles Corey who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692), and of course, writing.
