    My name is Bonita Early
    I’ve drafted ten or more scripts but haven’t worked on any in a few years.
    I hope to learn how to write professional, marketable Action scripts and I’d like to be more active in the creative community now that I’m living in the Los Angeles area.
    The strange thing about me is that I’ve written quite a bit of material in various forms and haven’t published anything yet.

    Hi all,

    1. My name is David Oren.

    2. I wrote numerous scripts in my days, most of which were military training films that I directed on a variety of interesting subjects. I also wrote a full feature script that won “Gold Lion” prize at the Teheran Film Festival, back in the good old days….
    In addition, I won a prize to produce a movie to a Sci-Fi script I wrote in 1977. I produced the film and performed all the special effects in it. The film was made into a 20 minutes featurette because the funds I received could not have covered a full length feature. I’m currently in the process of writing scripts and outlines for a TV series.

    3. As I have not written scripts in the last 44 years or so, I needed an assurance that I did not lose my touch yet, and that I’m not too far off from today’s writing trends and styles.

    4. Nothing extraordinary about myself. The Sci-Fi featurette is on the internet and I can provide its address in case any of you
    would be interested. It is in a foreign language though and doesn’t have translation in English subtitles, which I did not get to do
    for it (yet….).
    I was also a CNN overseas producer for a while.

    1. Name? Tracy Mayhan

    2. How many scripts you’ve written? Several non-fiction scripts for NASA that were produced and released. I have tried to write fiction scripts before. I just started a new project that has lots of action.

    3. What you hope to get out of the class? I hope to learn how to elevate my action scenes. My script is science fiction, but the action scenes need more tension and elevation.

    4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you?
    As part of my career, I have worked with many brilliant scientists, engineers, and astronauts.

    We look forward to working with you all!

    Hello All, I’m Renee.
    I’ve written a few scripts that I really enjoyed but none are good enough. I have two that I think have the best possibilities.
    I am hoping to redo the storyline, improve my characters, create better dialogue and end up with a script with legs.
    ODD / NEW I lead a very boring life. Mundane. I live in a small gated senior community and I have a stalker. It leaves something askew to let me know it was around/watching. It is not friendly. I could say more but can’t give it too much of my time as it has given me chills (thinking I was alone outside at night – I wasn’t) and disrupted my life.
    So I will sink into my writing and maybe it will get bored and move on to someone else.
