Introduce Yourself to the Group

[Susan Schoenthal]

I’m Susan Schoenthal from Denver, Colorado
I’ve completed 2 scripts and am working on others as well. My focus is on Western places and themes.
What I’d like to get out of the class is to learn build better characters, write and outline faster, and learn the best way to market scripts to producers and others.
I love to play games and have a job where I play bridge, Mahjong and other games. That’s what I love about screenwriting too, it’s like a giant puzzle where you put all the disjointed pieces together to make a beautiful picture.

[Gerry Yukevich]

Gerry Yukevich – pen name Ivan Cox author website ivancox.com
I live on Martha’s Vineyard, work part time as physician.
Two published novels: Cruise Ship Doctor and Blood Pudding, Confessions of an Immigrant Boy, Pittsburgh 1920
Also two award winning screenplays (but no options, alas!): Death Dose – murder mystery set on Martha’s Vineyard and Mudpuppy and The Scout, a Tale of Baseball and Lynching.
My goal is to create a TV mini-series for Blood Pudding

[Edward (Ted) Sharon]

Hi Susan and Gerry. My name is Edward, but I go by Ted – a nickname from my mom when I was one.
Apologies for my late arrival into this class.
I've completed 3 scripts, and one needs to be revamped for streaming – the main reason for this particular course.
I run a theater & film non-profit and want to help my students (and myself) see that progress in the industry is possible. I suppose it's my way of writing myself up to the next level.
Unique about me…I've taught theatre and film full-time for 25 years at the university level, and have decided to graduate from college this May! I've chosen early retirement so I can focus on screenwriting, and on my three girls (all 8 years and under).
I regret the need to do the class privately because of my schedule, and an NDA in place for the project I’m working on.
