A former student, for whom I wrote a letter of recommendation, passed early cuts and has an interview at UCLA (film school). Hope he makes it!
On what is beginning to look like the nebulous screenplay sale, producer wants to chat with me on the phone next week. Made an appointment for Tuesday morning. Maybe I'll learn something.

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."
