Jason is a good friend of mine who has been kind enough to both act in a couple of scenes and help me write and organize the story. He is brilliant and his ideas and support have meant a lot to me and the project.
Jason is an award-winning New York based screenwriter, author, and playwright. His screenplay "Resurrection Men", a winner of the AIVF Screenwriters Mentorship program with Maureen Nolan, second place for The Writer’s Place Screenplay contest, an official selection of the Queens international Film Festival, a finalist of the Acclaim Screenplay Competition, and a semi-finalist for Screenwriting Expo 4, was recently optioned. Look for the film in 2009. His sitcom pilot script “Drunk @5” was a winner of The Screenwriter Dig with Mark Canton.

His one act "Roulette Night" won the critic's choice award at the 2005 Samuel French One Act Competition, his one act "Love in the Time of Atkins" was a semi-finalist, and, last year, his one act "Telling the Leaves" was a finalist.
