About Me

I am America's only ex-CIA rocket scientist stand-up comic. I review sci-fi/horror movies at FeoAmante.com and I'm trying to become a screenwriter.
I've written five screenplays (all horror). Four are spec scripts and one was a script-for-hire job. Last year I WON THE INTERNATIONAL HORROR & SCI-FI FILM FESTIVAL SCREENPLAY COMPETITION!
So far this year I've come in third in the Breakthrough with a Scream screenplay competition and second in the Feeding Frenzy screenplay competition . (Feeding Frenzy is especially sweet because it's an all genre contest, which means my horror script beat a bunch of dramas and romatic comedies).

My Interests

Just one: get my screenplays made into good movies.

I'd like to meet:

The guy who had the idea to make DVD's that don't let you skip the frickin' previews! You can't go to menu and you can't fast forward! You and me, pal. We're gonna go round and round.

Music:

Eclectic, which is another way of saying I like whatever pop crap is on iTunes at the moment. And jazz.

Movies:

See my reviews at FeoAmante.com or at Rotten Tomatoes .

Television:

What I watch:
The Office, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Beauty and the Geek, The Simpsons (not the new ones which suck -- just the old ones that were funny), Ebert and Roeper, Family Guy, Two and a Half Men, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, South Park, My Name is Earl, 20/20 (but only when Stossel is on), Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and anything on the Science Channel.

Books:

Asimov on Physics by Isaac Asimov. It made me the science geek I am today.

Heroes:

Robert Heinlein, S.M. Stirling, James Cameron
