Well my goodness! Nice to be back on the old Proboards again! Thanks for resurrecting the screenplay forum, Mike!
Quick makeshift intro: Been writing scripts for 25 years. Varying degrees of success and failure. (wouldn't have it any other way, right?) Things have been rather lovely lately - - wrote and directed my first short film last year. It languishes with the sound designer as we speak (I can't stress it enough, kids - audio audio audio!!!). Currently writing a feature for me to direct this year if the bean counters can get their beans in order. Might try and send a few scripts westward this year as well.
And the juiciest tidbit - come this August, I'm out. I'm done. This will be my last year at this racket. Not so much out of frustration or anything, there's just a lot of other things I want to try on the creative side of things... books, poetry, music, hell maybe I'll even give needlepoint a whirl. But I've given a quarter century of myself to this stuff and I mostly have gotten out of it what I wanted. So Kenny was right... I know when to fold 'em, I know when to run.
Anyway, I'm pretty busy with my projects at this point but I certainly will keep tabs on things here. Mike is a terrific moderator and I can't wait to see what we can cook up here at Shmuck Central.
Er, that didn't come out right, did it?
Underwood Central.
Much better. ;D
