Biography

  • Roger began his creative journey late in life at age 30. He began by studying acting in the late 90s under the tutelage of Clarence Gilyard before moving to Los Angeles to pursue this dream. His acting credits included The Bernie Mac Show, a series of Spike TV promotion ads for CSI reruns as well as a full page print ad in Men's Fitness Magazine.

    While in Los Angeles, Roger also began to study screenwriting and directing. He's written several award winning screenplays in a variety of genres but specialized in horror/thrillers. He also wrote, produced and directed a series of short films that were compiled into a feature film called The Forces of Horror volume I through his company Force of Nature Films, which was distributed world wide through Adler and Associates Entertainment, Inc.

    Among his feature screenwriting achievements is The Zombie Effect, a genre redefining film which provides a science fiction possible reality for a zombie apocalypse, which Roger also reverse adapted into a novella which was published through Severed Press Publisher in Australia and available on Amazon. He also wrote The Ritual, a modern day Jack the ripper story.

    Roger has many stories in development that he is writing including The Abyssal Plain, a thriller about a transatlantic submerged bullet train, The Deep Web, a human trafficking thriller and Lycanthrope, a werewolf story he is also producing into a short film right now with his wife and producing partner.

Quotes

  • Living a happy and successful life is all about choice. Anyone can choose happiness if they really want it. The key is the realization that happiness is not solely derived from dreams coming true. It also comes from the journey pursuing them. Living the dream is more than the end result, it's the sum of all the parts it took to get there.
  • My directing style is to make sure the actors understand the text and the subtext of the script and then cut them loose to improvisation at their leisure. Giving an actor the freedom to explore their character produces original, organic reactions to their world and the events that happen to them.
  • I commissioned an original doll to be made for my short film RUBY, which I plan to make into a feature film franchise. The plan is to make her as popular to audiences as Annabelle.
  • Each of my short films encompasses not one but two twists. This not only bucks standard short film conventions but also provides a pleasant surprise to the audience.
  • I wrote a screenplay several years ago called The Zombie Effect, where I address how zombies are made and why they do the things they do. Though there is much science fiction mixed in, I used as much real science as I could to create a plausible world. I then reverse adapted the screenplay into a novella which is receiving rave reviews on Amazon. Now I am going to tackle the feature film myself.
