“From Heist to Hollywood: How a Vault’s Secrets Inspired a ScreenCraft Fellow’s Creative Breakthrough”
A little on the nose, sure, but the sentiment rang true. I didn’t want to be a bank teller for the rest of my life (or even for another week to be honest). I wanted to be a screenwriter. If the robbery taught me anything, it’s that life is too short not to try for your dreams.
I applied to the University of Texas at Austin’s MFA in screenwriting program. They admitted me immediately, and I got signed by a manager during my first semester. I moved to Los Angeles and sold my first show, and now I’m writing this from the pool in the backyard of my Beverly Hills mansion.*** (***This is what I WISH had happened).
