Jeff Oppen Screenwriter

Welcome

Welcome to my site. I'm a very versatile screenwriter, and I have written feature film scripts, tv series scripts and animated series scripts.

 

I enjoy writing for television, especially sitcoms, as much as shorts and features. I love to create on any level, and I am open to the opportunity to write for any movie or tv show.

 

I'm a creator. I'm an idea guy. I'm a brainstormer.

 

Writer's block? Never heard of it!

Animated Series Scripts

I have completed three animated pilot episodes. One is a prime time television series, along the lines of The Simpson's and The Family Guy and it's called The Hules. The other two are children's cartoons, TOOLS and The Rockin' Robots, in which I have also written and recorded the show theme songs. I wrote The Hules script so it could also be adapted as a live action series instead of an animated one. The loglines are below, as well as links to the animated cartoon web pages where you can view promo animation and each show's synopsis. I actually have a couple seasons of TOOLS roughed out. The children's cartoons were written as 7 - 10 minute productions and The Hules as a half hour show. The scripts for my animated shows are available upon request. I have also written a number of digital storybooks for children's websites.

TOOLS Logline
Harvey The Hammer and his best friends, The NAILS, start a renovation and repair company, with all their tool friends, to build and fix things for people.

The Rockin' Robots Logline
A group of three rock musician robots are sent from the planet Flatula to be substitute teachers on Earth.

The Hule$ Logline
It's The Simpsons meet Family Guy, as a filthy rich family of modern day Munsters enjoy their laid back life as cartoon Clampets living in a Louisville, Kentucky trailer park.
