This week I participated in request for films to be included for Film Courage Interactive in Los Angeles and pushed with all my heart for the inclusion of an independent film currently without distribution. Film Courage Interactive chose the film and it made me feel awesome to know I helped make that connection happen. I wish the […]
Read More ->Faith. You need it but where do you find it? Every screenwriter needs faith, whether it’s in themselves or in their deity to get them through rough patches. Solid ground isn’t always available and I find myself hopping from one sand dune to the next, hoping it won’t swallow me up for the rest of […]
Read More ->In 1994, I took a leap of faith in myself and moved to the soul crushing state of California. The promise I made to myself post graduation is that I would not waste my theatre degrees on any fast food restaurant employment. That promise paid off after a summer of unemployment and I found myself […]

Read More ->Which camp do you belong in? Do you listen to music or television when you’re writing or do you demand ultimate silence? I myself find a happy medium between the two.

Read More ->You’ve written your first screenplay. Now what. Most likely you’ve handed your 150+ page epic to a trusted friend who isn’t in the industry.
