Tim Westland
I'm a multi-genre Screenwriter based in Southern California. SciFi, Horror, Drama(dy), and Action/Adventure are my favorites. I thrive on deadlines, write tight visual action and believable dialogue. Equally happy writing solo or with collaborators. I like stuff that's gritty and emotional, but humor is in my script DNA. Positive and upbeat attitude. I work toward Yes.
