Hello everyone!

So honored that my feature screenplay "Searching for Shadow" is the WINNER of a 2025 Golden Pen Script Award, an Orniros Film Award, and a New York International Film Award! "Searching for Shadow" was also a Nominee for a 2025 New York Independent Cinema Award. Nothing makes a writer happier than having readers respond positively to your work.

Also, my TV pilot script "The Proxy Mom" is the WINNER of a New York International Film Award, and was a Nominee for a 2025 New York Script Award.

It's been an amazing 3 months!
