I’m a writer too!
I’ve written scripts, articles and content for Cracked, DoYouRemember, Budget Blinds and The Baltimore Sun. And I received a Creative Copywriting Certification with iLoveCreatives!
Take a look!
ARTICLES (REVIEWS)
I’ve written for The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Citypaper, Deadshirt and PointsinCase. Here’s a sample of some of my published writing.
CLICKING & STREAMING: ‘DEATH METAL ANGOLA’ (Baltimore Citypaper)
"Death Metal Angola" opens with intimate, handheld shots of an Angolan man, Wilker Flores, playing a six-string and breathily snarling into a mic in front of dim-lit stucco wall. This image, which both confirms the typical heavy-metal image and complicates it, is followed by a description of Angola's tragic and tumultuous post-colonial history and recurring violence.
HARI KONDABOLU INTERVIEW (The Baltimore Sun)
A modest provocateur, stand-up comedian Hari Kondabolu has performed on a variety of late-night talk shows, had his own half-hour Comedy Central Presents stand-up special, hosts a podcast with his brother Ashok ("Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Project"), formerly of the laughing-but-very-serious rap group Das Racist, and was a staff writer for the short-lived FX stand-up comedy television series, "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," a show that, given the current conversations surrounding race in the United States of America, is much needed, 2/4 making its cancellation all the more frustrating.
‘Inside Out’ is Pixar’s return to form, is like Charlie Kaufman for kids
Something to pay attention to when you’re watching “Inside Out”: the way in which people try to hold back their tears in a movie theater by tilting their heads to the side slightly, as if holding their head at an angle acts as some sort of preventative measure against tears rolling down their face. Well, regardless of what angle we tilted our head, we cried a tsunami of tears while viewing the cerebral and kaleidoscopic “Inside Out.” But before delving into whys and hows of tearing up to Pixar’s latest, let’s get a little bit real about the studio’s diminishing returns as of late.
SCRIPT WRITING
Here are a couple scripts I’ve written for videos. I wrote four commercials for the Annapolis chapter of Budget Blinds and several videos for Cracked and DoYouRemember (both of which I also edited). My video, “The Untold Truth of Yvonne De Carlo” has over one-million views on YouTube.
