David Byrne, Screenwriter

Oh, hey, that’s me.

Hey there! I’m David Byrne, a senior screenwriting student at California State University, Northridge. I love writing funny, heartbreaking, inspirational, strange and compelling stories that can only be told through film and television. Please enjoy my sample work by clicking the links and images below.
