About Henry

I was a dreamer since childhood, watching movies and pondering alternative characters and story plots. Soon began writing little stories but kept them to myself. For a while the practice lapsed as growing up put other pressures on me. Fifteen years ago I got back into it, selling short stories and a co-written novel. Loving movies I've helped out on numerous student and independent productions. Five years ago I began writing feature scripts. Reading over one hundred other scripts I got a better feel for story structure and character. I now have ten feature screenplays and over a dozen short scripts [message me for a full list]. I began entering contests, and more often than not got into the quarter and semi finals. My genre preference is for science fiction but I've written fantasy, horror, a crime thriller, and even several series pilot teleplays. Now I'm looking for others to help make some of these stories.
