Let's Talk Movies

I am a writer. What do I write? I'm glad you asked. I thought I wanted to be a famous novelist, so I co-authored Children of the Lost Moon with my sister, Tessa. We self published on Amazon and we did fairly well for a couple of months in sales. Did we make a lot of money? Nope. Did we become famous? No, but we had a really good time.

Then I got the bright idea I wanted to write a screenplay. Why would I want to write a screenplay? Insanity comes to mind.

I've been making up movies in my head since I was a kid. Movies are my thing. I love them. They whisk me away to places I've only dreamed of, and connect me to characters I'll never forget.

My first attempt at writing a screenplay was for the 2013 Action Film Challenge. I wrote the screenplay, Duplicity, and my brother, Jack, produced it. We won audience favorite! You can see the nine minute film on IMDb  at http://tinyurl.com/kllppme. Hopefully someday I will have many more films on IMDb to share with you.

In the meantime, let's talk movies. Are you writing a screenplay? Are you doing any acting, filming, directing? Or, if you just want to talk about your favorite movies, I'm all ears (well in this case, eyes).
