Sonny Dyon (Clermont, FL)

I am a Writer. I've written my whole life. It's funny though, I didn't know I really wanted to be a writer until I realized my dream of being an Actor was going to be so hard. That's when I got the genius idea of just writing a script and then I will cast myself in it...because, of course, that's how it works. Eesh. I was so naive.

I've written 4 feature length scripts and several shorts. I've had some interest on several projects but it just never happened. I got hired to write adapt a script from a previous script based on a true story but I just couldn't get in bed with the topic and there was no passion for me, so I dropped out.

My current pet project is a Comic Book Action Film that I am working on with George Pérez (Currently the Lead Artist for Superman). I have written the script for this project and I am currently working on getting a teaser trailer made to try and raise funds to get the film made.

My dream would be to be a Writer/Producer. I hear the hyphenates make all the cash! Actually, I would just love to see a project through all phases of development...concept to creation is something that gets me all jacked up.

When I'm not writing, I have a day job...something's gotta pay the bills...and believe me, I have plenty. I am happily married for over 18 years to a woman that is so far out of my league it's almost shocking. I have two amazing sons that are 17 and 16 and are absolutely superlative in just about every way.

I am extremely active in my local community theatre, I act in several productions a year, I just finished Assistant Directing "Willy Wonka" and I am Preproduction on "Damn Yankees" where I will be serving as Producer/Co-Director.

I've got about 100 stories in my head...if I can sell one, if I can make one...if I can get you to believe in me...I think, no, I know...I can make magic.

Citizen Kane. Cliche? Maybe...but it is. I love Star Wars. I'm a big geek for the Super Hero stuff. Memento. Usual Suspects. Fight Club. Caddyshack. Anything with Belushi or Murray. Love the Apatow whole family tree. Shawshank Redemption.

I love Robert Rodriguez. He's a maverick. I'm blown away by Christopher Nolan, he's unreal. I like writers who work on many levels, where the dialogue and the story and the plot interweave so seamlessly that you are caught in it's web instantly.
