    Lee Isserow

    Lee Isserow is an award-winning comedy writer and filmmaker, with over fifteen years spent trawling the back streets and dark alleys of the entertainment industry. He's pretty sure he has some traits of autism, because he's been constantly working and obscenely prolific for the entire duration, writing over a hundred screenplays, many of which he's adapting into forthcoming books, because very few people are willing to turn them into movies. For now. He lives in Liverpool, England because he accidentally bought a house there. He's not quite sure how that happened - but assumes part of that is because he used to drink a lot.

      For as long as he could remember, Firstname Lastname believed his curious nomenclature would usher forth a life of whimsy. He felt the name was deserving of magnificent adventures with a cast of quirky characters, hi-jinks and escapades, tales that would be told for generations. And truth be told, that might well have been his lot in life, were he to have been born into a different life, in a different time, under different circumstances.

      But that was not to be Firstname Lastname's path through this world. His parents were taken from him on the day he was born, and he was placed in the care of his only living relative; an uncle who had no wish for a child, concerned that it would interfere with his lifestyle as a professional drunkard.

      When Firstname Lastname's uncle was handed a form to fill in information regarding the newborn, he looked at the clipboard through blurry, wavering vision, and proceeded to copy the subject headings into the boxes, for the most part.

      First name: Firstname

      Last name: Lastname

      Sex: Yes please.
