edit data

An award-winning screenwriter, film director, producer and studio executive residing in New York City. I started my career in book publishing and later became involved with film production and distribution. Produced my first documentary film "The Thought Exchange" starring David Friedman and Lucie Arnaz in 2012, followed by my directorial debut, the award-winning short film "Prego."

My first feature film, "Pickings" was released to wide acclaim and received a limited theatrical release via AMC Independent in March of 2018. My writing and directing style is influenced primarily by film-noir and spaghetti westerns. The Los Angeles Times calls me, "a talent to watch".

Quotes by Usher Morgan (?)

“(Read the screenplay for the movie, “Up!” and the movie “Gone Girl” - to see what economical writing looks like).”

“Your rough draft, in my opinion, is the draft that no one is ever going to see but you; it’s the version of the scene, or story, or line of dialogue that just goes straight from your head to the page without any filter, thought or edit. A first draft, however, is the first draft you send out, after taking the time to analyze your story and do some editing.”
― Usher Morgan, Lessons from the Set: A DIY Filmmaking Guide to Your First Feature Film, from Script to Theaters

“You must be able to narrow your film down to a specific theme and stick with it from beginning to end.”
