Not interested in violent action or war stories in any medium.
Lawrence holds his BA degree in theater arts from Brown University. He received his MFA in writing from UCLA’s Department of Film, Theater, and TV — graduating Summa Cum Laude and with Departmental Honors.
He has had five feature screenplays optioned, and he has received several awards for his writing — in all mediums. His award-winning feature INTENSIVE CARE is now far along in the packaging process with very well known actors and director already attached.
He's recently completed a children's novel and also a new TV pilot. His most recent screenplay THE LAST BOMBSHELL has placed highly in 13 competitions, winning one. As of 2025, it's been optioned by a producer and director.
In addition to being an accomplished screenwriter and produced playwright, he is also a professional pianist and songwriter, as well as a trained actor. He has been hired for many independent writing and rewriting jobs. Plus, he has extensive experience as a script analyst (for two prestigious, Beverly Hills talent and literary agencies, and also working in development for two film studios). Lawrence has taught writing, acting, and English literature — on the high school and college levels.
Originally from Washington, DC, he currently lives in Los Angeles. Lawrence is represented by his agent at Innovative Artists.
