Stuart began writing in 1986 while working in the film and theme park industry as a sculptor. His first effort was a novel, but after working on many well-known films, he turned his passion to screenplays. He took a number of high profile screenwriting courses, attended many seminars, and belongs to a long list of screenwriting organizations. As an adjunct to screenwriting, Stuart was mentored in film directing by Jim Pasternak, and mentored in film producing by Fred Caruso, both well-known industry professionals. He has completed seventeen screenplays, two novels, and written/produced/directed/edited four short student films, and a spec TV series.
