Through strategic film and entertainment business contacts and my unique experience and knowledge from working in Hollywood, I am able to identify exciting, new material for both miniseries and movie consideration.
I
was head of the story department for HBO Films and Series during the
production
of such Emmy winners and Oscar nominees as
Angels In America, Something
The Lord Made, American Splendor,
Maria Full Of Grace, The Sopranos, Six Feet
Under and Deadwood.
At UCLA Extension I taught courses on story
development
and script analysis, pitching to the entertainment industry and writing
seminars for foreign students and movie executives. Under the auspices
of UCLA
Extension, I traveled internationally bringing my screenwriting, script
analysis and pitching expertise
to film execs and screenwriting students.
Currently
I teach at National University,
the 3rd largest non-profit university in California with an endowment of
over 300 million. Our new school of Media &
Communication offers cutting edge undergrad and graduate education in diverse
programs such as digital cinema, broadcast media, journalism and video gaming.
