Dream crafting world builder -Write, perform, make films. My current creative incarnation: the Raw Poet. Got tired of just writing scripts- have done a dozen I think-like to rewrite/revisit historical events...believe we're products of a simulation-hence we can rewrite history on demand. Last feature script from a few months ago, Saint Sinner Savior about a morphine addicted Yankee doctor during the Civil War who after fleeing his regiment finds refuge in a tri-racial, neo-pagan community in the swamps where a Magic Negro uses an African plant to cure him...
Started making small films that I post on Instagram @rawpoet2 and Twitter @deanbalsamo1 as well as on Google shorts...write/post/film almost everyday...would like to collaborate...not sure the future is in theatrical releases or even just streaming...people are getting their entertainment from the web...how we tap into that?

Anyway check my films out on IG and Twitter. Thanks Dean
Unique traits: -Have a talent for fitting seemingly unrelated ideas together. -can create something out of nothing, been doing this in marketing and sales for the last 20 years. -Can spot things in the future. -take another's ideas, article, theory etc. and bring new, hidden insights to the surface. The marketing/sales side of things always interests me.
Saint Sinner Savior Budget: $5M - $10M | Independent When a morphine addicted Yankee doctor desserts his regiment after refusing to join an officer's drug ring making him a target for removal and finds Refuge among a tri-racial Neo-pagan people in the swamps where to -quote Spike Lee -the Magic Negro cures him with a plant ritual and he emerges as a new man with the strength to confront his Nemesis and clear his name
