His teleplay credits range from the premiere episodes of Steven Bochco's NBC-TV series "Richie Brockelman, Private Eye" to D.C. Animation's "Wheeled Warriors." Subsequently, other films penned by Easter include the martial arts actioners "Out for Blood" (as David S. Green) and "Red Sun Rising" (as David S. Green) both HBO World Premiere Movies, as well as "Sworn to Justice," the only American martial arts-themed picture ever invited to film festivals worldwide.
