My late mentor Lew Hunter, UCLA Chair Emeritus, Primetime Emmy Nominee, and writer/producer/executive for all the major networks, and my "make-believe father".

 

I attended six of his two-week Screenwriting Colonies: September 2008, 2012 & 2013, and June 2014, 2015, & 2018 several times by invitation. During that time, I began six Feature Scripts and a TV Sitcom Pilot.

Bonus: I met my late husband Andy at our 2012 Screenwriting Colony. We are pictured here at the Superior showing of "Once in a Lew Moon", the documentary of Lew's screenwriting life.

Education

I met Dave Thomas at one of Lew's Screenwriting Colonies. Dave is one of Lew's "brothers" in the screenwriting world.

Dave assisted me tremendously while I was formulating my sitcom TV pilot, as well as narrowing down the feature script I began at the same Colony. I was pulling double duty that Colony, working on two scripts... both of which made it into the Second Round of Austin Film Festival!
