Introduce Yourself : Who am I? Who am I? I'm NOT Jean Val-Jean! by Ed Vela

I started out life as a stage actor at the tender age of 18 back in San Antonio, Texas. Moved to Houston about 10 years later and hammed it up on stage for awhile, then when a small community theatre needed a Christmas play but couldn't really afford royalties, my first play: Santa'a Shoes" was born (eventually published too). I wrote plays from the late 90's till about 3 years ago when (with the fingers prints of young actors that had done my stage work all over my back) I moved to SoCal, ending up in Burbank (my marriage had just gone belly up, so a fresh start was kinda needed). Been trying to make the bridge into screenwriting ever since. Had some marginal success with my first two screenplays (see loglines, etc. as soon as I can put em up) in contest where "industry professionals" read them. And (to keep my sanity) I've dabbled in a webseries. Writing, producing, directing, editing, and acting my own little webseries: "Dad vs. Lad" on You Tube (please check it out, I could use the hits).
