The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."

I didn't know B Joe died that way, Charles! Wow.
I enjoyed the teaser for "Christmas..." on You Tube.
Forgot B Joe was in that show.
Regards,

Thank you so much Mr. Deemer for posting this!! I am B. Joe's niece and just did a google search for him and found this. It brought tears to my eyes as I recalled my precious uncle. I cannot wait to share this with my father tomorrow. He will love to "see" his big brother again.
thanks! kirstin medley
(if you happen to have anymore old videos or stuff with BJoe, I would love to hear from you - kamedley at comcast dot net)
