Dillon Jernigan

I got my degree, in English, from San Diego State University.

For a long time I wanted to pursue acting. I still find it interesting but I fell in love with the idea of writing and directing, more. I decided to put my efforts into that and I've written several screenplays. I also write and preform music, on the side, and have put thought into possibly working on a musical.

My completed screenplay projects include:

America's Treasure - historical nonfiction, thriller, crime
Emile, The Mechanic - historical nonfiction, short
Upping the Ante - Historical nonfiction, crime, thriller, action/adventure
The Duke and the Dictator - Historical fiction, crime, thriller
The Jungle King - Historical nonfiction, military, crime, action/adventure
The Survivor of Saint Pierre - Historical nonfiction, action/adventure, thriller
The Priest - Historical nonfiction, thriller, crime, Action Adventure

"The Priest" has received laurels from:

Marina del Rey Film Festival (2024)
Wiki: the world's fastest screenplay contest (2024)
San Diego Movie Awards (2024)
New York Screenwriting Awards (2024)

My main purpose on here is to find someone that can help me improve my work and get it to the right people to create these feature films. As of now, I am writing, editing, submitting to festivals and attending festivals - I just need to learn what else I need to do and what steps I need to take.
