Just finished the screenplay draft of my romantic thriller, iLove. It came in at 104 pages, maybe a tad long. I'll let it sit for a few days and see what I have.
The rest of the morning belongs to students.

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."
