    1. Greetings from Louisiana! I am Martha Gabour Manuel, author of three published books and co-author of a fourth.

    2. I have often dreamed about writing a movie but until taking courses through SU had doubts about it becoming a reality.

    3. I am currently writing a seven-episode Limited Series based on my first book “Murder on False River.” Been working on this for some time now, so taking a break to take this course will be something like a breath of fresh air.

    4. No hit movies to offer right now, but don’t count me out. One way or the other, I’ll …

    “See you at the movies!”

    Hi all,

    1. I’m Ramsey Anderson

    2. 3 feature scripts (Action, Comedy/Drama, Thriller) and a TV series of a game show for club DJs.

    4. I love everything about production; from writing and producing to post production with motion graphics and color/ sound design.

    3. I would love to refresh concepts and rediscover my writing.

    4. My first film was released theatrically last January in Costa Rica, we are currently being represented by our sales agent in markets worldwide. It was a fantastic experience, I enjoyed the whole process so much. I want to start the next project asap.

    1. David Polcyn

    2. Not sure off the top of my head but have had 4 projects produced.

    3. Looking to acquire new skills and different approaches to put in my tool box.

    4. I finished shooting a project two hours before the first covid lock down in Prague, so very familiar with the moving target of Covid restrictions. Then I ended up moving there from Los Angeles – but the winters always cause me to flee back!

    I’m Aurora Dawn Harris. I’ve written three feature length scripts, one pilot and outlined the series, and a handful of short scripts, one of which I’ve filmed as executive producer. I hope to get into a writing routine again and disciplined by the assignments. But here I am late to the party already (I was traveling.) I am a lawyer, now retired from Santa Clarita, CA and enjoying the good life on a farm in Middle Tennessee, south of Nashville. Lots of good people and writing and filming going on around here. So loving it all. Seems I’m busier than I’ve ever been.

    1. Hi, I am Malinda Baum

    2. I have written a couple of shorts, started a feature and have an idea and am developing another feature. Also working on a documentary.

    3. How to better develop characters and keep the middle from feeling like a rambling bit of noise without any real purpose.

    4. I was the first female firefighter hired at the city I worked for in 1997.

    1. Name -Robert Barhite

    2. How many scripts you’ve written – 3 feature, 3 tv pilots, 2 shorts, and a ton of shorts for the 48 Hour Project.

    3. What you hope to get out of the class? Get back in the writing groove.

    4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you? Two of my shorts, “Seeking Bigshoe” and its sequel “Seeking Bigshoe – Oregon” are based on my time working on “Finding Bigfoot.” I do believe there’s a clown in these woods!

    1. Name: Jodi Lustig

    2. How many scripts you’ve written? 5 or 6 (not that they’re all ready for prime time–or ANY time)

    3. What you hope to get out of the class? I’ve got a fun idea for a contained movie but no idea if I can make it work.

    4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you? I have been to the Museum of Natural History, and there’s no way Night at the Museum should be a comedy. What kind of sicko thinks the T Rex would come alive to play fetch?😀

    PS: Happy to be here but behind already and catching up fast.
