What you missed last time...

Great get-together at the ScreenplayLab mixer on Oct. 22nd in Beverly Hills. I enjoyed chatting with actors, producers, writers, a manager, and a future agent working at William Morris. What a fun evening! Thank you for coming.

Thank you HITCH screenwriter Kevin Bisch...

Kevin Bisch was the guest speaker for my Trick or Treatment course this week. If you're not part of that you really missed it. Talked about his background as a journalist (hey, me too!) and how he got his first screenplay LAST FIRST KISS (and why it was renamed HITCH) to Overbrook as a star vehicle for Will Smith. Kevin is currently working on THE ARRANGEMENT, a romantic comedy about a florist, and GREAT WITH KIDS for Disney.
