Jeffrey David Schick is a theatre kid with cinematic sensibilities who started acting at the age of 10. Improv by ten. Stand-up by twelve. And writing stage plays by thirteen.

He graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Journalism, then spent two decades in advertising — at agencies and in-house with brands, working as a researcher, marketer, and strategist.

At night, he wrote and directed four short films — HALO, SWIPE, HATCH, and THE CALLING — before studying screenwriting at UCLA. His films and screenplays have gone on to earn jury and audience awards, Finalist recognition at the Austin Film Festival and CineStory, with additional recognition from PAGE and Final Draft.

He's currently a Green Room Screenwriting Fellow and an adjunct professor at Cornish College of the Arts teaching filmmaking. He writes across comedy and drama for film and television.
