James Grimaldi

I love teaching and screenwriting! Equally.

That's why I've worked 10 years at 2 universities, helping students create their stories, for film, TV, and animation. I manage over 100+ live-action & animation I.P.s per year, through all stages of film/TV development, and animation pipeline. And I've compiled all that teaching knowledge into 2 upcoming textbooks.

Meanwhile, I continue to write & produce my own screenplays, collaborating with diverse groups of industry peers – from Disney to 20th Century to Framestore to Kronicle Media. Whatever I learn in the field, I bring to the classroom.
