Donny Sheldon

Donny Sheldon is a Philadelphia-raised, Los Angeles-based, WGA-award-winning writer. He studied Film & Cinema Studies in college at American University and earned his MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He’s followed the Academy Awards race since he was 10 years-old when his (once) beloved “Titanic” swept the Oscars that year — although now he’s of the opinion that “Boogie Nights” probably should have done that.
