ABOUT ME
Hello there! (General Kenobi)
My name’s Felipe (as confirmed by the large bold heading above). I write movies, television, audio dramas, and video games—sometimes all at once, depending on how the week’s going. I’ve written for both Hollywood studios and international productions, which means I’ve been both overpaid and underpaid in multiple currencies.
Before focusing on my own stories full-time, I worked as a development executive, helping shape scripts for the very same major studios that would one day try to replace me with AI. These days, I also mentor emerging writers through Real Ideas, an arts education nonprofit, where I help storytellers wrestle their ideas into something coherent (and surprisingly profound).
After fifteen years in Los Angeles, I moved back to my native Massachusetts—partly because my daughter deserved a decent public school, and partly because it seemed like a good place to wait out the apocalypse. When I’m not writing or overanalyzing movie structure, I’m usually building something—whether it’s a PC, a movie-prop replica, or IKEA furniture. (Would it really kill them to add words to the instructions?)
But I digress... If you need words to be written by a human, you're in luck! I have been known to do that on occasion.Writing Samples
