BIO:
Jacob Clarence Sullivan is a screenwriter from San Diego, California. He graduated from San Diego State University in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Journalism with Emphasis in Media Studies. After graduating, he bounced around for a few years, writing scripts in his free time between working at a boba shop (where he took his job much too seriously), as well as working as a tour bus driver and guide at the San Diego Zoo, where he enjoyed the chance to get paid while getting a tan and his steps in.
Jacob enjoys writing crime films, fast-paced thrillers, and character-driven dramas focusing on morally grey professions and subjects. He also loves writing stories set in Southern California because of the endless storytelling possibilities the region contains.
In his free time, Jacob loves to go snowboarding, spend time with friends, explore new areas of Los Angeles, and continue his lifelong search for the perfect pair of jeans.
