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 am glad he is in.
Anyway, it's so hard to good bluesmen (harder still to find someone as good on the harp) who are younger than 50 and show tickets don't cost a fortune. Even in New York. Maybe things are different down south.
