[Mark Lederkramer]

1) My name is Mark Lederkramer but I usually go by Mark Kramer In fact most people just call me Kramer

2) I am actually working on my first screenplay which will be focused on HBO, Showtime, FX, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Hulu, as this will be for a TV series

3) I want to learn or get better at pitching my finished treatment and pilot episode. I hope to learn how to get my treatment and pilot to major producers/ showrunners especially those that are originally from New York.

4) The most interesting thing is that this series will be based on my real-life experiences as a high-ranking member of one of the most influential Marijuana smuggling and dealing crew in the 1970’s and 1980’s in New York.

As a side note I have walked over 10 feet of burning hot coals three times. Twice in New York and one time in California. After the second time in New York, I made the lifechanging decision to move to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actor at the age of thirty with no real acting experience. Now I have switched my focus on writing about my experiences as a high-ranking member of the Marijuana smuggling and dealing crew in Brooklyn, New York

4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.
