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.

Charles, wait until you get to the episode where a homeless vet is found dead with Toby's business card in the pocket of his coat. Truly outstanding television.
Best,
eric
Hey, Eric, just saw that one the other day ... I'm doing one or two episodes a day. Really good stuff. Too bad "real" politics isn't like this ha ha.
