Scott Sanford Tobis is a screenwriter, journalist and award nominated playwright (an honor he proudly lost to the late Ray Bradbury). In addition to writing for film and television (Twice Upon A Christmas, Desperate Housewives, Muggers, The Roast of Paul Hogan, and more), he crafts articles for numerous magazines and websites, co-wrote The Desperate Housewives Cookbook. Frivolous, his "deeply silly" half-hour comedy about the legal system, is in development and he's currently crafting a vaguely-autobiographical (a term he just invented) TV series, Unmoored.
He is endlessly fascinated by the human condition and remains cautiously optimistic in a world that doesn't exactly engender optimism at the moment. That said, he is fully optimistic that he can be reached at blankcanvas@gmail.com.
