James Dalessandro, Best Selling author, screenwriter, TV writer/producer

I have been utilizing Stage 32 for remote pitch sessions, and taught a class here in writing pilots for serialized shows. In the 1970s, I founded the nation's largest poetry/literary festival with Ken Kesey, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski. Bukowski would have been 100 last on Oct, 16, 2020. I wrote a lengthy piece for Medium.com called "The Beat Poets, Bukowski, and Me. It's Free: I thought some of you might enjoy it - HERE IS THE LINK. https://medium.com/curious/the-beat-poets-charles-bukowski-and-me-2532d1...

Hi James, enjoyed reading the article and loved "Truth without style is nothing.”

James Dalessandro

Thank you, Maria. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, it was a remarkable ride. You appear to be a prolific artist, kudos and good luck with all your projects. I'm have joint U.S. and Italian/EU citizenship and may be working in London and Ireland next year if this pandemic ever subsides.

Thank you, James. I can tell it was a great ride. Fingers crossed this corona situation is over soon so we all go back to our normal lives. It is indeed a strange time.We stopped our production due to social distancing as some scenes requires having a close physical contact. Let me know when you come to London:-) Cheers

James Dalessandro

My sympathies. Everyone I know in the U.S. has been shut down for months. Several are trying to start up - not easy to shoot anything when you have to stay apart. And then there are the crews: try to keep 100 people from coming into contact with one another. And we're the lucky ones. Let us keep in touch. Good luck. James
