I have written feature films, TV series (all on spec.) and short films. I am a hard-working individual always brimming with original ideas and high concept projects. Right now, I am writing a thriller feature screenplay for Reel One Entertainment. The project is still under wrap, however it is a concept that I developed from scratch and I should be able to complete by August/September 2022.

P.S. in the past I have been a Script Reader/Analyst (Lime Pictures, Mammoth Screen, Bill Kenwright and producer Adam Rolston), TV Editor (ABC Australia), Producer (Skills1TV) and writer/director of short films (https://www.youtube.com/user/maxsappa/videos)... basically a Jack of All Trades and master of some. These jobs have taught me how to effectively work under pressure, the key principles of a solid structure and the importance of 'killing your darlings' to make a story work.
