The Writing about Writing

You know it... you love it... and yep - I write it:

“IN A WORLD,

WHERE MOVIE TRAILERS REIN SUPREME...

ONE COPYWRITER WILL RISE ABOVE THE REST...”

Okay, maybe a little dramatic - but you get the point. For the past several years I’ve been a freelance writer for many trailer companies in Los Angeles.

From teasers to trailers, TV spots, special shoot dialogue, bumpers, creative concepts; clutter busters, out of the box, in the box, can we get just the box - almost every aspect of film marketing, I’ve been asked to write it.

If you’d like to know more -- or better yet hire me to help on a project, feel free to email me at: mail@jeffwitzke.com.

I also enjoy working on other creative ventures in my spare time (well, that is when I can find some spare time).

TELEVISION

I recently co-wrote, co-produced and co-star in a pilot presentation with Michael Cotter and Darren O’Hare. House Husbands is a half out single camera comedy that follows the adventures of Mark, Brian and Tommy - three friends who juggle maintaining their masculinity as “domestic dudes,” while enjoying the freedoms of not having a regular job.

FILM

I am currently co-writing writing a comedy feature with Jeff Marx and Gregory Bonsignore.

FOLK MUSIC

I don’t write anything to do with it it... other than this paragraph right here.

The trailer I worked on

for WALL-E won both a Golden Trailer award AND a Key Art Award. How cool. Hey Mom - now I’m an award winning writer... here’s proof!!
