My writing roots
AS A WRITER: Vincent began story writing in grade school with a little tale about a seventh grader who has visions. He spent several months of that year convincing faculty that it was not autobiographical – and the visions weren’t about them. He continued to write all through his education being published in local periodicals of San Mateo County and the east bay in Northern California. Studying Business at UC Berkeley, Duvall found his way into the writing program there as a necessary balance against the exacting demands of Macro Economics. His best story INSTITUTION was conceived from the jail cell of the campus. In Los Angeles, he helped start what has become an immensely popular website for adult XXX stories and began writing plays and screenplays. Cut to: several years later… Duvall- DePasquale has written over ten features. He has had deals with companies like CinePro for scripted feature material, many options on feature projects and some script doctoring. He has sold 3 spec scripts. And is very proud to have had many ideas ripped off in submission to larger companies.
