A Little More…

A Florida escapee, Imran has lived on 3 continents and worked odd jobs ranging from processing mountains of gulf shrimp at a fishhouse, to building PCs and software in a hangar near Travolta’s secret lair. His stories are spiked with that diverse and often darkly comedic experience.

He has been featured on John August’s Scriptnotes, had an alt-history TV pilot featured on The Black List (JOHN BLACK RAVEN), completed an MPAC TV Drama Screenwriting Lab, and a Canon Filmmaker Lab on Directing, Cinematography, Producing and Editing. Also a 2020 ScreenCraft Sci-Fi TV PILOT WINNER (PSEUDOSAMINA), and multi-occasion feature semifinalist and finalist at the Austin Film Festival.

He’s also an occasional dabbler in experimental fiction and directing & cinematography.

And people say his pages are nice.
