screenwriting is my passion

About Me

I'm a videographer, director, screenwriter, structural engineering draftsman and amateur photographer. There is a synopsis for each of my screenplays in my blog. I enjoy making trailers and posters as marketing tools to help sell them in a visual way.Moved from Illinois to California in 1984. When I'm not stuck in front of a computer, I like to go on weekend road trips. This awesome myspace layout is from CompleteMyspace.com

Let Us Prey script is done

It's too long right now at 28 pages but a first draft is done. I need to somehow convert a Final Draft file into a PDF file so people without Final Draft can read it. Any idea how?
