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 have to say, standing among the millions of people who endured the cold and the crowds to see the man inaugurated, I was impressed by the solidarity of hope, and it wasn’t all racially based. It seems like every group can look at Obama and see in him a shared experience to bond over. Perhaps it’s the strength of the man that he can reach out to people from different backgrounds and circumstances and exude a sense of common ground. But I was suprised that so many would clamor to claim affinity with a black man in this country. It gives me some hope.
