James Patrick Freetly
Screenwriter
Original feature screenplays rooted in character, relationships, humor, conflict, and visual storytelling.
Introduction
James Patrick Freetly is a screenwriter working in feature-length narrative film. He is a graduate of the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting and has completed five original feature screenplays, developed both within that program and independently.
His work centers on character-driven stories — the friction between people, the humor that survives conflict, and the visual choices that let a scene say more than its dialogue.
Writing
James's process moves from character outward: discovery drafting, structural revision, table reads, and reader feedback shape each script before it's considered finished. Acting and photography backgrounds inform how he thinks about performance, composition, and image.
Projects
Five original feature screenplays are currently in various stages of development, spanning character-driven drama and comedy. Individual project details will be published as they are finalized for public release.
