About the Author
Demetrius Smith is a fearless and talented truck driver, author, producer and screenwriter with a flair for drama and dialogue. After a few years of driving while working carefully on a script, he completed his first dramatic screenplay(webisode). He is proud to say that many of his scripts were written in the sleeper of his truck. Writing has been a passion of his since middle-school. Unfortunately, for many years, as is the case for struggling writers, writing had to take a back seat to his need to work and provide for himself and his family. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Demetrius grew up in Riverside South Memphis, and his present screenplay ingeniously puts a spotlight on that community, where he attended public school and graduated from George Washington Carver High School. Right out of high school, Demetrius joined the Marine Corp, his first time away from home. Within 2 years, he was meritoriously promoted to Corporal and served in Japan, Somalia and other high profile countries. In no time, his interactions with the indigenous people and his travels greatly encouraged Demetrius' writing and became prime screenplay source from those situations and individuals he encountered. From 1993-1994, his final year in the Marines, Demetrius was stationed in Yokosuka Japan, where he wrote articles published in the Marine base newspaper's Readers' Forum. Over the course of two years as a truck driver, Demetrius has carefully crafted his script, in addition to working on a few short stories. He just recently formed his own production/entertainment company; MaCaleb Enterprise LLc. During the course of his many career changes, Demetrius never lost his deep desire to write. He is hoping to secure financing so that he may possibly produce the full-feature film himself along with some of his other story ideas. This WGA-registered drama and behind-the-scenes scandal is tentatively titled "Scandal at Riverside High," inspired by true events and thoughtfully written to disguise actual identities and characters. Most recently, Demetrius played a small role in a movie, "Jericho", alongside legendary comedian George Wallace, veteran actress Irma P. Hall, and JoMarie Payton. Make no mistake, Demetrius Smith is one writer who can coax so much high drama and intrigue from the sleeper of a truck. Rest assured, however, there's no sleeping on Demetrius Smith's night shift.
