I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian) I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more. As a COPYWRITER I write unique, pinpoint accurate, and hilarious copy for B2B, B2C, SaaS, fintech, direct response copywriting, email marketing, commercials, corporate videos, VSL's, explainer videos, social media, websites, blogs, slogans, and more. As a SPEECH WRITER I've written drop-dead funny content for TED talks, TEDx talks, keynotes, fundraisers, weddings, corporate, eulogies, sales summits, motivational, and more. I've even created funny content for CPA's, dental hygienists, and data analysts. (They say it couldn't be done.) Comedy Training: Upright Citizen's Brigade, Peoples Improv Theater, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, NY Film Academy, Chicago City Limits, The Actor's Project NYC. My expertise is writing humor that sells. And I would love to work with you. You've read this far so why not holler at me, shoot me a message, or invite me to your project? Let's do this.

I am a screenwriter/editor/ghost writer with over a decade of experience in the film industry. Screenplays I've written have gone on to win awards at film festivals (New York City International Film Fest, Manhattan Film Festival, New Filmmakers New York, GI film festival, Atlantic City Cinefest) and my first project debuted at Cannes Film Festival - Marche du Film, where it was picked up by a distribution company and released on Amazon, Netflix etc. Besides working on my own projects, I have been script editing/ghost writing for years and have a keen eye and strong voice. I specialize in character-driven drama, thriller, comedy and independent films, but am open to any genre. I am excellent at editing, providing feedback and suggestions when it comes to character development, backstory and bringing a fresh take on the material. I am currently working remote from abroad and have a flexible schedule. I am hyper focused, creative, communicative and excited to work on new projects!

Writer with a knack for clarity, structure, creativity, brevity, flow, and fun. Winner of the $3,000 Jack Nicholson Prize in Screenwriting. Graduate of UCLA's prestigious School of Theater, Film, and Television, with a concentration in screenwriting. Also experienced in videography and web content management. - Pros & Cons of Hiring Me: Pros - Reliable: I am on time, I meet deadlines; no matter the stakes, I’ve always proven that I can be counted on. - Friendly & Respectful: I’m nice, courteous, professional. In the past, doing direct service at a nonprofit, even when working with upset or challenging members of the public, I was always calm and respectful, and found ways to help, alleviating anyone’s anger, making sure everyone was heard and responded to. - Diverse Knowledge & Skill Set: I have studied and worked in all aspects of film production; worked with Photoshop daily; managed social media accounts and websites; managed people, too; I read a wide range of books and am interested in (and teach myself about) a wide range of subjects; know a surprising amount about codecs and a small bit about programming; have taught classes and created curricula; migrated and managed databases; even re-organized equipment rooms—to name a few examples, off the top of my head. - Fast Learner: This is how I wound up with that diverse knowledge and skill set. I can’t say I in any way earned this, but I’m grateful for it: I’ve always had the ability to quickly understand how and why something works. - Creative: Then, once I’ve understood how and why something works, I immediately start thinking of new things to do with it, and how to improve it. - Proofreader’s Eye: I have an impeccable eye for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. And the flexibility to match a company’s style—for instance, removing Oxford commas, if that’s preferred. Cons - Recovering Perfectionist: I have learned that if there is *not* a deadline, I have to give myself one, or I will work on the project until the end of time. - Quiet: Not historically the one to start the conversation. Once, I was proud of earning the “ResTV Ninja Award” at my campus TV station, awarded for coming in, doing my work, and leaving without anybody knowing I’d been there—but over time, I’ve realized a person can be too quiet. I have improved a lot over the years, and continue to push this comfort zone. - Diverse Knowledge & Skill Set: For example, since I’ve worked in every aspect of film production, I have above-average knowledge and skills in lighting, shooting, directing, editing, and some simpler special effects and animating, but I have expertise in none of these. - Creative: Sometimes, the boss isn’t looking for originality. I have learned to restrain my instincts and follow a more worn path, depending on the situation. - Proofreader’s Eye: Not everyone always wants to know their hyphen should have been an em-dash. I don’t usually correct people’s writing. But if I see a mistake on something public-facing, that represents the company, I will usually ask the person responsible whether they want to be informed of any errors—and if they don’t care about em-dashes, I don’t bother them. - Zero Hand-Eye Coordination: If part of the job is drawing, cutting, or folding in a straight line (without software), I am the wrong candidate.
