Hi, everyone. I am a writer who has optioned one feature screenplay, written a couple series pilots, and way too many software and jet engine shop manuals to mention. I am currently developing a spec pilot for a WWII era drama. I've been a producer/writer/videographer/editor of commercials for the internet and the editor of a daily cooking show on Norwegian broadcast TV. I am inquisitive and pretty flexible because I often watch a pair of demanding grandkids.

Maurice Vaughan Thank you. The feature animation script went into turnaround and was not renewed because of a little film called Shrek that released during preproduction. The option was signed in 1999. Sadly, no, I did not get to taste the host's efforts. I edited a day or two after each taping.
David Abrookin Thank you. I was also a web designer when the dotcom bubble burst. Ya gotta learn to tap dance on quicksand.
Tim Ogletree Thank you. It was an extended tour in Norway after getting an MFA from Columbia College in Chicago. I also write coverage for a couple companies.

Great to have you here, James D Howes!
You're welcome, James D Howes. "The feature animation script went into turnaround and was not renewed because of a little film called Shrek that released during preproduction." Do you think you could rewrite the script into something that's different than SHREK so you can pitch it?
