I have written scripts for almost everything I have directed and produced. That includes narratives, experimental films, documentaries, animated films, commercials and music videos.
Training - screenwritingMy formal training took place over two semesters at Quinnipiac University under the tutelage of Liam O'Brien, professor of communications, when I took basic and advanced scriptwriting. O'Brien has professional credits including Emmy and other award-winning documentaries that have been shown on public television, in national and international film festivals and broadcast internationally. He has worked as a director and/or producer for Discovery Communications, Turner Broadcasting, National Wildlife Productions, Audubon Productions and CBS News and has served in a variety of production capacities on over a dozen feature films. O'Brien received his MFA from The Art Institute of Chicago, a master's from the University of Rhode Island and a bachelor's from Fairfield University.
