"True terror is to wake up one morning and discover your high school class is running the country." -- Kurt Vonnegut
Let's just say that Damocles' Sword is still hanging over me, but it's a-coming. So before that hellfire and brimstone comes to pass, I'd like to do a few things:
I want to make things. I want to make things with you. You should get a hold of me.
I want to make people feel something more than mild amusement when they're watching shows on a laptop.
I want to, even for a minute, subvert the natural order of things and light a fire under people.
I want to write characters that don't look like me, or don't love like me, and yet are connected to me in many other ways.
I am the co-executive producer of lonelygirl15's recent revival at its 10-year anniversary, which was profiled in Forbes in the summer of 2016.
Of my four hour-long TV pilots:
-- The genres include: Near-future dystopian; historical western; YA post-apocalyptic; small-town sci-fi mystery.
-- All have people of color in leading roles.
-- 3 of 4 have women of color in leading roles.
-- 3 of 4 have robust LGBTQ representation at cast-level.
I take representation very seriously in my work -- of not just having characters that look different, but are diverse. People of different backgrounds, different histories, struggles, beliefs, and those details matter.
Everyone matters. Everything matters. No character is set dressing to simply tick a demographical box. They are people who have impact on the story, and the story impacts them as well.
I also have written in the audio format, having won awards at the student level. Currently, I have a cyberpunk scripted podcast pilot competing in Austin Film Festival's first ever Fiction Podcast Competition.
Along with working in fiction, I also do news. I was the head writer for SourceFed + Google News Lab's 2012 Presidential Election Coverage, as well as Editor-in-Chief for New Media Rockstars.
To put it mildly: If you want it written, you should be coming to me.
Also, I can type "Matthew McConaughey" without having to check my spelling, so I've got that going for me.
