Work History
  • Screenwriter

    Jon Oa

    July 2014 - Present

    Finishing my life long dream of pulling a great cinematic script.
    Taking the time to push the limit of my conscious and subconscious mind.
    Discovering the 'matrix' of storytelling. None stop reading and writing until I reach the sky.
    When achieve, work harder until I see the stars that lie beyond.
    Then journey to the center of the universe, where nothing lie ahead.
