Screenwriter

Who am I? 

An award-winning screenwriter from London. Hobbies include sarcasm, cigarettes and existential crises.

A life-long film fan, I write feature and short scripts inspired by my heroes: Tarantino, Lynch, Fellini, Woody Allen and The Coen Brothers, to name a few. 

My stuff is inspired, but not regurgitated. I blend my influences with a unique Jewish wit, whip-smart dialogue, surreal dark comedy and unexpected pathos.

 

Making people laugh at terrible things since 1991

What do I write?

Dark comedy. Surreal comedy. Everything comedy. 

 

MY IDEAL / Short

A lost writer goes to a dating agency to find purpose and inspiration.

BLACK / Feature

A brilliantly flawed LA professor struggles with marriage, dating and coming to terms with his mediocre life.

CLOUD NINE / Short

On a date from hell, a neurotic writer is haunted by a mysterious girl in red.
