Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Anthony Bruce began writing student articles for the Terre Haute Tribune in October of 1981 while attending Terre Haute North Vigo High School. He went on to continue his writing for several newspapers and magazines throughout the United States. In 1997 he penned his play, "Visions of Sugarplums", which premiered in a Palm Springs, California, theatre one year later. In 1998 independent film producer Edward J. Fasulo was impressed enough with Bruce's writing talent to commission him to write the screenplay for the film version of his play, Visions of Sugarplums (2001), which was released in VHS and DVD formats on November 30, 2001. On April 30, 2001, Bruce's screenplay "Murder at Random" (aka "Murder at Hollandsburg") was optioned for film production by Emmy Award winner and veteran producer/casting executive (Columbia/Screen Gems Television) Renée Valente and fellow producer Eddie Kritzer. Bruce has another screenplay in the works entitled "Redefining Normal", which is based on his own "very colorful" true life story. Show less «
