Hi-- I'm a screenwriter from the Pasadena area. I was a script supervisor for a long time, now I write. I write period movies, Civil War, Indian Wars. You know, the kind nobody in Hollywood wants to touch. Yet, I persevere. I like serious drama, the grey areas of war, conflicted people, and love. I follow the cavalry. I love a good horse, a nice whiskey, I collect vintage firearms, and pens. So there you have it. I've introduced myself. :)

Hi Jan. Sounds interesting. Do you write female leads for these period pieces? I'm sure there's a ton of female producer's who would latch on to that.

I do. Strong female leads. Young women learning to rely on themselves, understand who they are, and are the equals of their men. I like women who break from convention, and the Victorian time period was rule-bound for women. So, I like to see my characters think for themselves, follow their hearts, break the boundaries, realistically, be they an aristocratic young woman in love with a cavalry officer, a Cheyenne girl who fights for peace with her white husband, or a WV mountain girl struggling alone across the US to archive her dead lover's dream. But so far, I get shrug "Yeah, we like it, but a period film? Horses? Nah, nobody wants that. Ya got a thriller for me to read? Maybe a drug heist? Vampires? How about a romantic comedy?" Female producers out there? Are you reading this?
I think that's awesome. Love it.
Sounds great Jan!
Welcome Jan. I love a good horse boxed with 3 others too!
Lol!
Thanks Alle. I'm not sure how interesting I am, but I am an unusual woman. I'm not real comfortable with Skype, but I'm very good with email. I know you're a long way away, and the time zone is thing is a hindrance.
