Shaner Ortiz

Actor turned storyteller, I went back to finish off another master's degree, but finally in what I wanted:

MFA / Creative Writing

Story creation, fiction or non-fiction, I can create or configure it, and then script it from beginning to end (Treatment, Log-Line, Spec., Shooting Script), all in-house hence, a one-stop-shop, as we say in the military (20 years, Retired, Veteran, also).

Mid-Western guy - with that all day, night, year round work ethic, yes, but are prepared to start the commute, back and forth between my home here, to California and the real industry, or elsewhere, for film, preferably (sister is out there also, L.A., but with Fox for television, production side only).

To pay the bills, I teach and coach (wrestling) on the side, typically at the college levels, but run a tiny non-profit back here in my home state also, again, already retired military, and traveled the world, hoping to continue to do the same in the future (Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Cuba, Panama, Hungary, China, Africa - Canary Islands/Spanish).

I speak English, Spanish, and may return to study of either Portuguese, or another language next.

Importantly, I love to work, write, and be around those with positive energy like myself; so, my colleague referred me to the site (here) to see if there are others like myself to meet or network with. I have some of my initial work already online and available, or exerts thereof; so, hit me up if your thinking you need storyteller / scriptwriter.

Thanks,
Shane Tisdale (aka - 'Shaner Ortiz' - scriptwriting)
