Hi everyone. I'm David, originally from Los Angeles, now living in Tokyo. I didn't come to screenwriting and filmmaking till late in life. I started off as a musician and songwriter. But somewhere in the back of my head, I guess I always knew I was going to write screenplays. All my screenplays and teleplays have placed in multiple competitions, especially "Big Sister," which has made a lot of headway and is now at the production company of an A-list actress, thanks to Stage 32. It doesn't mean she's going to produce it, but at least it's on the table. I'm focused on dramas and dramedies, both for film and TV. My goal is to work at the top level of the industry and I've learned that if a screenplay is powerful enough, doors will open. If you want to know more about me, I'm at www.davidchester.com Hope to meet and interact with many of you in the days and weeks to come.

Thank you, Noelle. The goal is to come back to L.A. and live and work. I totally miss my hometown! (But after 23 years, Tokyo is a good second best!)
I envy you for living in Japan! I grew up there, in Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo - really miss that country!
Hi, David. Congratulations on all of your success.
Hi David. I know how you feel. There is something niggling away inside you. I'm glad you have eventually reached your goal :-)

Hello beautiful people. My success is in actually having written a script that people are paying attention to. I'm grateful for that. And it's nice to know that it made it pass two gatekeepers at an A-list actress's production company. But I'm still essentially at square one: no agent, manager or lawyer. I still need to connect and network and somehow connect the dots. Wishing everyone great success with their projects.
