"Many great scripts are sold in Hollywood that never make it to the big screen. Meaning many talented writers never get the opportunity to showcase their talent. That is, if they are even lucky enough to get it read and sold. I think by releasing my scriptbook series it creates an opportunity for my work to be seen"
