Finally, after 20 years of trying and failing to become a filmmaker, screenwriter, director etc. it is happening!Since May 2006 I have been hired to write or doctor 13 screenplays, one of which was produced in NYC last year and another that is set for a shoot in Philly this fall.But what you really need to know is that I went to summer camp with Ben Stiller in 1976.My short film "The True Meaning Of Cool" won an award from the American Film Institute.I love film, working on my own stuff but, just as important, helping others with their work. I just want to see good movies getting made and I try to help whoever, whenever, whether it is an artsy intellectual film or a deliriously sleazy horror film...I love them all and want to help you make yours as good as it can be.I am partial to indie film. I once worked happily for free for 4 months on the crew of a low-budget indie film, finished it on a Saturday and went to work on a big budget Hollywood film on Monday, made buckets of money but was bored to tears and disgusted by the wretched excess and irresponsible waste of resources....an amazing study in contrasts!What can I say? I love movies, have worked on films, reviewed films, and I am always trying to get one or more of my own screenplays produced -- either by myself or by someone else --- or help other people with their films.I am back in my native Philly after a couple of years in Rockland, Maine. I teach or have taught screenwriting and film history at Drexel University, Arcadia University and The University Of The Arts.
