SCREENWRITING
Anthony sees screenwriting as a distillation process; of boiling away the fat to achieve the leanest, best possible narrative.
The axiom, 'writing is rewriting', is so integral to his approach, the phrase is literally tattooed on his arm where he sees it every day at the keyboard, as a reminder that every need to change the writing is an opportunity to improve it.
A ghostwriter, script doctor, and creative force of nature, this professional freelancer is equally at home repairing a script in trouble or tailoring one to a client's needs, as he is generating fresh, original , marketable ideas.
With decades as a professional writer, production designer, and actor, Anthony found his passion in screenwriting. Exhausting every possible outlet; books, lectures, classes, and every writing gig he could use to hone his skills. He came away a master of script story structure with over 100 IMDb credits in film production.
Often, the invisible creative hand behind projects for stage and screen, Anthony has now stepped from the shadows and into the forefront, putting a face and name to his expansive body of work.
“Anthony is one of the most integral creatives I've had on my crew. His attention to detail and ability to tell a story never ceases to amaze me."
- Andrew Kasch, director
