Jonathan Perera

Historia

Is of Portuguese descent. Trained as a corporate lawyer but ended up teaching English in China and South Korea. Started screenwriting when he was 30-years-old while living in Asia. "Miss Sloane (2016)" was the first screenplay writer Jonathan Perera has ever written. It was produced two years after he finished it. His "Miss Sloane (2016)" script was discovered from a query letter by the writer's manager in Spring 2014, and further developed and exposed to the market in early 2015. The screenwriter was living in Asia at the time and was attempting to solicit industry reps over the Internet. In less than one year, the spec script was acquired, attracted an Oscar-nominated director and actress, procured financing and distribution, and was put on a progress-to-production track. He was the only writer to work his script for "Miss Sloane (2016)". This is a rarity in the movie industry.

Screenplay

Navinder Singh Sarao, described as a brilliant outsider and a man who found a way to beat the stock market, making millions working from a bedroom in his parents’ small suburban home on the outskirts of London. When his focus on outsmarting the corporations coincided with a $1 trillion market drop, he found himself in the crosshairs of a group of U.S. government agents. As the net closed in, Sarao would find himself facing a lifetime in jail in America unless he could find a way to play the system one last time and make himself indispensable to a government intent on making an example of him.
