Introduce Yourself : Writer/ Producer by David Ingrassano

Hello Stage32. My name is David Ingrassano. I'm the middle of five kids. I was born and raised in an Italian American family on the east coast. My father owned a bakery/restaurant in a small upstate, New York college town. I was exposed to many people from all walks off life, from an early age. Instead of going to preschool I went to work with my dad. One of my first jobs was to line the cupcake tins with liners. I made the news paper for the first time, around four years old, with my dad, the baker. I still have the article in my scrap book. My dad sold the business after 30 years. I decided a month later on my 32nd birthday, as a gift to myself, to just pack the car and head to CA. It was an awesome feeling of freedom. The open road has always been a thrill for me. When I was 27 years old I took a solo, winter cross country road trip. I had no destination, just driving wherever I felt like heading next. In the 2.5 months I drove over 10,000 miles exploring places from NY to Florida, continuing on to Washington State. I have three completed screenplays. I'm currently developing a Reality TV Show. I also have five children's picture ebook on Amazon and Barnes & Noble: Kindergarten Blues, Poo Poo Express, I Married A Monster, Heart Shaped Boogers and The Little Bakery. As a kid, my mom said that I would run into the house saying there's lions and tigers in the fields. She always laughed it off and would say, "you love to tell stories, now go back out an play with your brothers". A few years ago four mountain lions were discovered on their small farm. She said, "maybe you weren't telling stories".
