Earnest Pettie’s Summary
I am a screenwriter with an extensive background in writing/producing entertaining short form content for the internet. The two short films I have written, Secession and Man with a Moustache, are festival favorites that have toured the world. I would like to take my background in comedy and use it to transition to television, working in sitcoms.
