The best way to get into Hollywood is by writing a knockout well-crafted low budget film, with passion. Chris's students and clients have done just that. A recent student, Kyle Rankin, directed the 2003 Project Greenlight feature, THE BATTLE FOR SHAKER HEIGHTS.

Dozens of his students are currently working on all levels in Hollywood because they wrote a screenplay out of their passion, which got them recognized and carried them there.

Chris is a working writer who has written produced pictures, series and MOWs. He teaches screenwriting at NYU, Harvard, Emerson College Graduate School.

Among his credits: THE HUNTER (Paramount) (book and script). DANGEROUS COMPANY (Warner Bros) (script) and
THE HUNTRESS, a recent TV Series on USA about a mother-daughter bounty hunting team in LA (book, script,
co-producer). He is currently writing a picture with Samuel L. Jackson attached to star and another for producer Peter Janney.

Chris has written a number of books, two of them on the art and craft of screenwriting: HOW TO WRITE A SELLING SCREENPLAY (Random House/Broadway, 1996) and HOT PROPERTY: Screenwriting in the New Hollywood (Penguin, Aug 2003).

Chris was a "Star Speaker" at the Screenwriting Expo, in LA, in 2002 and 2003, and is a regular at The Maui Writers Conference.

Chris has consulted on hundreds of scripts.
