I am a national and international award-winning playwright and screenwriter, and have had one screenplay produced and one short play published (in an anthology). I worked as a copywriter for Disney Studios for almost 15 years and five years as a Freelance Writer for Warners, and a journalist for nine. I have been a Stage 32 member for several years, but it's taken me a long time to come clean in agest Hollwood about my being in my 70s. That's why I don't partake in Pitch Sessions online or in person. Who takes an old man seriously in LaLaLand -- certainly not agents, managers or producers. It's not going to stop me, however, from submitting to contests and festivals. Mel Brooks is my idol so who knows? Maybe by the time I reach his age (96), I'll be an overnight sensation.:-D
