About Mr

I am an author and screenwriter based in South America. I write about inspiring things that I find on my travels. I have written almost 12 feature length screenplays and TV Pilot scripts. I am now trying my hand at short scripts. I have broad material that I think has commercial value and I have won numerous scriptwriting competitions.
