I'm a Los Angeles playwright who's had 10 plays produced in the LA area, and two short stories published. I also made a short film in the 48-Hour Film Project (that was a blast). I'm hoping someone will want to produce one of my screenplays. My husband and I had what we thought was an awful flu in March - turned out to be the virus, and we are very grateful to have survived and to have the high level of antibodies to prove it. I'm also a semi-retired lawyer (civil litigation, criminal appeals), who's trying to do a lot of writing during the shut down.

Hey, Mona Deutsch Miller! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Wow, I'm so glad you and your husband have recovered! Do you mind if I ask - are you experiencing any remaining effects? I've heard that chronic upper respiratory issues can arise after recovery.
Oh, hey, I love the 48-Hour Film Project! I've done it a few times now, and it's always such a great learning experience. I'd love for you to start a post in the Filmmaking Lounge about your experience making your film in 48-hours! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing Maybe discuss your COVID writing in the Screenwriting Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting

Hi, Karen, Thanks for your kind wishes. Thankfully, no lasting effects, other than it seems to be taking a very long time to return to my former level of fitness with respect to walking. (My level of swimming has finally returned, after almost 3 months.) I have the feeling that I'm a terrible user of Stage 32. No doubt I could be doing a much better job. BTW, I wrote and produced the 48-hour film, and certainly had a lot of input into the directing, but I did not direct it - Cameron Chin was both director and cinematographer. I wrote the script, fed the cast and crew, organized everybody and found them all in advance, selected the music (and performed some of it) and did whatever else I could do to help.
