For me, it was Raiders of the Lost Ark. To me, it is a perfect screenplay and a perfect movie. No need to debate that here. ;) But tell me what was yours?

Expand postGreetings all! I have been lurking for awhile, but I am now trying to be more active in this community. I am an editor for TV and Film and I currently work for HSN. I am trying to get more work outside of the corporate 9-5 (in hopes of transitioning out of this world, imaho us creatives weren't built for cubicle life).
The happiest I've ever been in my career was working on 'Calling Dr Pol'. I got to own the series for two seasons, doing all the editing, cc work, audio and graphics.
I hope to talk with many of you and, with luck, start some great collaborations.
Thanks,
DeWitt Forbes Patterson
Thanks! It's exciting and nerve wracking :D (but most of the good things in life are)
Hi Dewitt! It is truly exciting and intimidating. It’s hard to think outside of the box when you’re in it from 9-5 right? I understand completely. Stage32 is the perfect platform for you to find fellow creatives. :)
welcome!

Expand commentI had no intention of working in films, but when I was asked to interview Andy Cheng for a magazine, we became friends and about four years later he asked if I'd ever written a screenplay. I have always loved watching movies and so I had played around with turning some fiction I had written into scripts but I had not done it seriously. He gave me a script to re-write and liked what I did with it enough to tell me that he would love to have me as his writing partner. So far we have one film together, written for Johnny Martin (DELIRIUM) and Johnny has since hired me to write others that have yet to go into production. Andy and I are working on another that he will direct himself and already has a BAFTA winning actor signed on and partial funding before we've even finished the screenplay!

Expand commentIt is hard for me to pick just one film that got me interested. If I had to limit it down I could possible do one movie, one series, and one person. Charlie Chaplin would be my person. The movie series would be Halloween. Then the one movie might be Pulp Fiction. Three complete different time frames and genres. Now I would have to say who I am most inspired by is Jordan Peele. I love horror movies and he is creating a whole different perspective in that genre and I would love to help pave that road.
