Introduce Yourself : Not-a-hyphenate by Travis Seppala

Travis Seppala

Not-a-hyphenate

I'm just a screenwriter.

I USED to be a hyphenate many years ago: writer/director/editor/producer/DP/PA/etc.

But here's the thing -- every film job that's not writing? For me they all range from "don't really like it" to "seriously HATE IT".

So all I do is write.

Hi! I'm Travis, and I'm a screenwriter. ;)

Amanda Toney

That takes a lot of discipline to remove the hyphenates. Glad to have you here! What do you write?

Travis Seppala

Amanda Toney Both features and TV.

Mostly horror, thriller, and sci-fi... but a couple dramas as well (including being hired early this year to adapt a YA romance novel from a New York Times bestseller).

Hey, Travis Seppala. How's your weekend going?

Travis Seppala

Maurice Vaughan My so-called Weekend is over. My weekends are Thursdays/Fridays.

This week, Thursday was my 4th wedding anniversary. We stayed in watching TV shows (alternating between episodes of TRACKER and episodes of LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) and eating carbs (ravioli with a lemon-alfredo sauce).

Friday we went out to Room Number 13 for a nice dinner and a magic show.

Hi Travis Screenwriter. It's so cool that you learned what you don't like and ran with the thing that you love. It's so important to be fully invested. Writing is enough.

Maurice Vaughan

Happy Anniversary to you and your wife, Travis Seppala! Congratulations on four years! Ravioli with a lemon-alfredo sauce sounds delicious!
