As long as I can remember I’ve been into creative writing.  This page skims through my noteworthy ones, I am working on more detailed write-ups on R1i.com or Washingtondesi.com, whatever I did this under.

My most important writing is a pilot to a sitcom called Independents which I co-wrote in late 2004 with my friend Usman Sheikh (Facebook / Twitter).  We had done it for a writing contest and I wrote a sitcom called Independents for a writing contest by Bravo called “Situation Comedy.”  You can read the script here: http://shahryar.net/items/independents.pdf

In 2005 I wrote a one-act play called The History Lesson for S.T.A.G.E’s One-act Festival. Here is a video of it on video.google.com:

In August 2010, a friend of mine had made me aware of Roman Pictures who were looking for looking for writers to write comedy.  I submitted Independents to them and they liked it.  They also wanted one more short 5-6 page script for a sketch to be acted out and I wrote Job Competition.  You can download that here: http://shahryar.net/items/jobcompetition.pdf

In college where I wrote a somewhat full length movie called The Kru with my friends James Darr and Bryson Young.  One Day I’ll put a cleaned up, proper version of that script up.

Also during that time I started getting into writing humerus short stories – one of which was called The Meeting (I think) which revolved around my cousin Zehra.  I should have a video of that somewhere, I’ll put it up soon.

My earliest creative writing memories are from elementary school at Oakcrest Elementary (A thank you to my teacher during 4th – 6th grade  Mrs. Kathleen Hackett):
1) writing a book for my elementary school book festival called Caramel Man (the villain’s name was Vanillain)
2) a random script starring the other kids in my school about the adventure that ensued after our pet snake escaped.
Sadly, I doubt I’ll ever find either of these pieces of work.
