COMEDY WALK on Sept. 18th FREE TIX...

Thank you to everyone for the kind notes with words of encouragement for us and ScreenPlayLab. I've updated the ScreenPlayLab home page to open reservations for several events.

Please tell all your friends to come to my next COMEDY WALK show on Sept. 18th. We have a big show planned. Our next ScreenPlayLab event is on Sept. 21st. We'll have a fantastic reading of Pamela Newlands' new rom-com 'Puck'. Pamela is one of the participants in my Screenplay-in-a-Month program. 'Save the Cat' author Blake Snyder is our speaker on the 21st. More info below...

Attention Trekkies, we have a screening of a new Star Trek fan film on Oct. 10th. 'Star Trek: Of Gods and Men' starring Walter Koenig (Chekov), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and Tim Russ (Tuvok). Stars will be at the screening for Q&A.

Screenplay-in-a-Month Starting...

Screenplay-in-a-Month is my program to facilitate writers completing their screenplays. Need a cheerleader, someone to nudge you, or a little help getting organized? It's been my pleasure to work with many wonderful writers in this program. Every writer has shown dramatic improvement in a short period of time. Whether you've been struggling to finish the same script for years or just have no idea what to write about, you can write a screenplay in a month. All one-on-one interaction. Cost $299.
