Rudie Obias is a screenwriter, podcaster and blogger living in New York City. He is a graduate of Cleveland State University (2003); he was a student of Philosophy, Political Science and (of course) Film. He is also a mediocre musician. On first appearance you'd think Rudie was just another hipster from Williamsburg; well, you'd be wrong, he lives in Bed-Sty. He has an obsession with v-neck & button down shirts, tote bags, NPR and bars in Brooklyn.
