CJ's here for the gritty movies, the rebellious movies, those films that pack a punch far harder than their budgets would suggest.
As a spec script writer, he loves creating pulpy thrillers, mostly with female leads, featuring strong themes, brutal action, witty dialogue, and twisting scenes that have characters vying for power or falling for one another.
As a producer and writer-for-hire, he's production savvy, budget-conscious, and market-orientated, able to write in various styles and genres with the ultimate goal of entertaining viewers while turning a profit for investors.
2012 was the year CJ started screenwriting from Staffordshire, England, and it's been a hell of a ride, from his early scripts being featured by Amazon Studios to recently penning the LA-based features Break Even (starring Tasya Teles, James Callis, and Steve Guttenberg), Double Threat (starring Danielle C. Ryan, Matthew Lawrence, and Dawn Olivieri), and Night Train (starring Danielle C. Ryan, Diora Baird, Ivan Sergei, and Joe Lando).
He's proud to have had films featured on KTLA Morning News, written about in US Weekly Magazine, recommended by The New York Times and Collider, reach the top five most popular movies on Amazon Prime, go to #1 on Hulu, and hit #8 on Netflix globally.
CJ's all about the craft and all about the love. It doesn't matter to him if it's Tarantino or Twilight; he always looks for the good in everything. He's the author of Turn & Burn: The Scriptwriter's Guide to Writing Better Screenplays Faster, which started as a free online resource he's since expanded into a book, that comes recommended by such industry members as a former director of UTA's story department. Plus, he shares a role on an advisory board with the likes of Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), Jim Uhls (Fight Club), and two WGA council co-chairs.
As a huge fan of American New Wave films of the '70s and a child of the Independent Cinema Movement of the '90s, CJ's dream is to make cult films that showcase strong female characters in the truest sense of the term - strong in character - with the rebellious tone and gritty aesthetic of those eras. This is something he's in the process of doing through his production company, Rebelle Rouser
He's also here to help change the industry for the better too. In 2016, frustrated by the costs and cliques that screenwriters and filmmakers face when trying to share or source material, he launched the free script-hosting website Script Revolution, which has flourished into a thriving community consisting of over 18,000 screenwriters and industry members.devamını oku
