Dejan Stojanovic

Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.

Shay Mitchell

Studios, because they are investing a great deal of money in movies, they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based, so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything, from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy, I've done it all.
