KAYNE GORNEY - SCREENWRITER
BIO
"You kinda look like John Sebastian from The Lovin' Spoonful." - Some drifter
I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on a Tuesday. I graduated from LSU in just four years, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I also earned the essential double minor in Film and Italian. Oh mio Dio, che genio!
As a screenwriter based in the Big Easy, I use my love of movies & television and powers of trivia for good by writing scripts of all genres, as long as they’re comedies.
