    Name: Jodi Lustig

    How many scripts? I'd say I've written four that I'll own up to.

    Something unique about me? Once upon a time I was sure I'd be the first woman President. Now I'm simply happy there are no time travelers hellbent on breaking that little girl's heart!

    Hello, everyone. Looking forward to working with you. I’m Dalisia Copersmith and I’ve written three scripts and a couple of shorts. I hope to apply everything I learn in this class to a new script this year and to the way I develop characters for all future scripts. I tend to be very plot heavy and character light in my writing. Something strange about me is that I love running really long distances. It’s like good therapy–but cheaper! 🙂

    Hi, everyone! I’m very excited to be part of the group!
    My name is John Vanderberg.
    I’ve written 2 scripts (that I’ll admit to), and 2 more that need a lot of work. Then 2 that are marinating in the background.
    I’ve received encouraging judges’ feedback about my writing and my comedy. I’m always looking to learn more, be exposed to great examples, and love to network.
    Something unique, special, strange, or unusual about me? I’m self-taught and learning the long way, but I am committed and determined to be successful at writing great scripts. As an aside, I have a son who is in Hollywood trying to break into the biz as an actor, so it’s amazing to live vicariously through his trials and tribulations in this industry as well.
