Introduce Yourself : Author (of 16 books) (really), returning to my first love: screenplays by Joseph Dispenza

I am an American living in Mexico (San Miguel de Allende), author of 'Older Man Younger Man,' 'God On Your Own,' 'The Way of the Traveler,' and other books. I founded the film school at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design in 1987 with the help of actress Greer Garson, who gave us $3.3 million to build an academic facility attached to two rent-out sound stages -- my students went to classes on one side of the building and worked on films at the studios (in the early days: City Slickers, Wyatt Earp - more recently 'Longmire,' 'Manhattan,' etc.). I've returned to my first love, writing screenplays. The first, just finished, is 'The Mayor Falls in Love' -- the true story of J.W. Lown, the closeted mayor of ultra-conservative San Angelo, TX, who was re-elected to a 4th term with 90% of the vote, but did not show up for his swearing-in...he fled in the night to Mexico with his lover, an 'undocumented' 20-year-old male student. It's an upbeat romance with twists around some serious 'today' issues, especially immigration law , same-sex marriage, and gays in politics. I'm new to Stage 32 -- looking for friends, contacts, connections, looking mostly to find agents/producers/anyone else in the business who will read the screenplay. Thanks, Stage 32, for this great opportunity. J.
