About Jisen

First and foremost I am a screenwriter. I've also worked as an actor/director/translater in film, theatre and TV acting.

Like most screenwriters, I have a secondary day job as an IT manager. This is a job I also enjoy.

However, my true passion is in creating stories that inspire people to think: "That was good. That story meant something. That story changed me even if only in the slightest of ways. That story sets a standard for how stories should be crafted"

Unique traits: I was once a celebrity in China. Yes really ;)

Gender:
Male
