Introduce Yourself to the Group

[Marta Dun]

I’m Marta Dun. I’ve written and rewritten 5-6 scripts. My focus on the current scripts is character development. The topic of this class has intrigued me for at least a year. I’d taken one of your courses in November 2020. That workshop made a huge difference in my approach to screenwriting. I’m looking for the same brilliant changes with these lessons.

Something unique, strange, or different? I was a supermodel who went into acting. Had a lot of fun but in limited TV/Movie roles (bimbos, athletes, models) for women. Left to start a family and, as writing is a portable skill, to write novels. I did those things, and I’m back. In the interim, I made the switch to screenwriting. Won an NEA award for my second script but didn’t pursue development. Which I regret. With my daughter having achieved her Masters, I’m back to acting — and further elevating my screenwriting with you guys.

[ANTONIA Balogh]

I’m Antonia; sadly enough, the most strange thing about me is that I come from Transylvania, and I’m a dentist( not a vampire, promise!). I wrote two scripts and four books. In every course I took, I was the alien of the group, so I hope that one day my writing will make me belong.

[Elisabeth Ness]

1. Elisabeth

2. Wrote a web series that won awards at festivals you’ve probably never heard of, and wrote some short films you’ve definitely never seen. (Thankfully, for you.)

3. I have ideas for two short films that I would like to make and star in this year, and hope that this class will kick my butt in gear with them, and write them to the best of my ability.

4. I have attended the world’s largest redhead convention, in the Netherlands.

[Jane Alcala]

1. Name: Jane

2. How many scripts you’ve written? One feature length comedy script

3. What you hope to get out of the class? Learn ways to make my script more appealing to actors; hope to come up with idea for next script

4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you? For 20 years of my life, I went out Swing dancing 3 nights a week.

[Ed Nemeth]

Hi everyone!

I’m Ed

I wrote one film script that I did nothing with and produced a medical educational DVD.

I want to apply the topics of this class to a script for a film series I am writing and have generated some Hollywood interest in it.

Something unique… well, I have a few…

I died a few years ago from a rare heart infection and was in a 3-day coma – spent the entire time in Eternity! It was wonderful! (It’s called a Near Death Experience)

For 20 years I founded and owned companies on 3 continents and traveled the world. Met incredible people, saw amazing things, and had great experiences!

Right now, I take care of my disabled wife and disabled daughter 24/7, so I am challenged to get things done. But I really hope to participate in this class and to meet everyone.
