Hello fellow writers. I’m excited to start on a new class 😀

[Dawn Johnston]

Hi all, looking forward to this class and to meeting other writers.

1. Name: Dawn

2. How many scripts you’ve written? 10 or 12 features and pilots, plus a few shorts.

3. What you hope to get out of the class? I’ve already written a contained sci fi script and I’m on the second draft of another but Hal always brings so much value with his insights so my goal is to fill in some of the gaps of what I’ve learned myself.

4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about you? My first real job was teaching English in Istanbul many years ago.

[Griffith Lambert]

Name: Griff Lambert

I have completed ten screenplays. I have two streaming TV series I am currently pitching with a writing partner. I have been reviewing older items on my project list to update for streaming or to make them work as contained environments.

I was enrolled in last year’s Bingeworthy TV class but I suffered a stroke near the end and I have not finished, but the classwork informed my two current TV streamer pitches.

I hope to refine one of several ideas I have that fit into the “contained” model.

I have worked “behind the camera” in TV and film for more than 30 years. My wife and I are renovating a home in Sicily where we hope to relocate next year.

Wow. Griff. Good for you for getting back to your creativity so quickly after that. I hope your health and mobility have improved and you are on the mend. Can’t wait to see your ideas!

[Griffith Lambert]

Thank you, Marla, I am definitely on the mend and bringing my “A” game. Be seeing you!

[Mauricio Vélez]

Hello writers, I am happy to join the group and start this new class.

My name is Mauricio Velez Domínguez.

I have written various documentaries that have aired or streamed internationally. I have written 3 fiction scripts. I was enrolled in last years Bingeworthy Class, which I really liked. I have enjoyed Hal’s classes and want to learn about how to write a compelling story in one single location.

Something unique about myself: I love documentaries. I am passionate about science, the outdoors, wildlife, sports and travel.

[marla Howell]

Hi All! Super psyched to be here!

Name: Marla Hanson

How many scripts I’ve written? 3 features, 2 shorts. Have had 1 short produced by HBO and 1 feature, written for hire, produced, which bears absolutely no resemblance to my script. 😂

3. What do I hope to get out of the class? I left film to work in nonprofit when my daughter was born. She’s now graduated college, so I’m hoping to get to work on a few ideas I’ve had tucked away.

4. Something unique, special, strange or unusual about me: I have mild psychic abilities. Am thinking of enrolling in a psychic development program to discover more. Also, my subconscious responds to every situation with a song… ad nauseam. Does everyone experience this?
