Award-Winning Screenwriter
DALE ZAWADA



QUICK BIO
In 2013 I sold my first screenplay (A Big Love Story) to Ryan Sage (Modern Family). Ryan wanted to make a feature and was looking for the right script. Turns out I had that script! A Big Love Story was shot and filmed in L.A. and went on to win several festival awards and receive positive reviews from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and more.
The next film was Halloweed, a horror-comedy starring Danny Trejo, Tom Sizemore, Ray Wise, and more. The film had a limited theatrical and Netflix run. It was a lot of fun.
In 2018 Every 21 Seconds was released. I wrote the screenplay based off Brian Sweeney's novel covering his traumatic brain injury and miraculous recovery.
Since 2010 I've done a comedy podcast with songwriter Jim Snedeker Jr. Not Like This is available every Tuesday and can be downloaded right here.
I also write D&D adventures (DMsGuild.com) and was voted a top 10 comedian in Chicago - according to WGN.
