MJ is a UCLA-trained screenwriter, raised in the Bay Area city famous for the Zodiac killer. His dark worlds are heavily influenced by the foggy, abandoned Navy town that raised him, the hard-working, blue-collar people who live there, and the hellacious environment they've had to endure for the past three decades.
