SCREENWRITER
I started doing some screenwriting a few years back just for the heck of it, and just kinda kept going. Thus far I’ve written four TV pilots and a feature film, all of which have done well in the film festival and competition circuit. You can check out craigmillerscreenwriter.com, or my Coverfly page for the skinny on all those.
I think many of the same practices screenwriters use can help us immensely as advertising people, and I wrote some of them up here if you are interested.
And if you’re really interested, you can read some of my stuff here…
