Jon Marcus

Jon Marcus is a Hollywood screenwriter who focuses on thoughtful comedies.

He went to The Ohio State University and got a BS in marketing after studying years of science classes and tutoring math. He does not have a degree in literature. He does not have an advanced degree. He did not go to an Ivy League school. He learned to write by watching a plethora of movies in an attempt to avoid his parents. He loves a good story and attributes his fondness of fiction and his sense of humor to a slightly warped mind molded by said parents. Not that he’s complaining.

He is an enthusiast of science and history. He is also a romantic, not only of the way he sees the fairer sex but also in his vision of life. He has written numerous movie scripts, realized that people in Hollywood don’t like to read, and he loves writing and creating thoughtful stories and fun characters. He has a penchant for run-on sentences which he is working on and often tries to cure with commas and semicolons.

He grew up in New Jersey and eventually found his way to the West Coast. Currently, when he’s not sitting alone in his dark Santa Monica home worrying about his weight, he can be found watching Pacific waves and playful dolphins from the Malibu coast and wondering what psychotic thoughts are going through the minds of seemingly normal looking people around him.
