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!
