Jefferson McClure: Screenwriter in Denver, Colorado.

I've been mostly a lurker on Stage 32 for the nearly 4 years that I've been a member, but I guess it's never to late to jump all the way in. I've had a love of filmmaking since I got my first hulking camcorder as a teenager (not to date myself, but it was a two-piecer --one with the camera works, and a separate piece to lug around the recording media). For some reason, I had a youthfully misguided distrust of the Hollywood "machine," so I tried to further my film education and experience as far from L.A. as possible. To make a long story short, it didn't really work. So, I tried to craft a "normal" life without giving filmmaking a second thought--and I did so, quite successfully, for nearly 20 years. But then, while considering a Masters program to further my boring career, I found myself wandering around web sites for low-residency MFA Screenwriting programs. I eventually found an excellent program that combined craft, practical experience, and industry-insider knowledge (National University's Professional Screenwriting MFA) and, after a few years of hard--but rewarding--work, I obtained my degree. The experience also rewarded me two extremely well-vetted scripts and the practical know-how to write and evaluate scripts that are ready for the Hollywood "machine." Of course, a successful screenwriting career is a marathon--not a sprint--so I know that I am still building momentum in my writing cadence. I look to Stage 32 not just for finding that one producer or manager who will "make" my career, but also for the camaraderie and support that we all need as we stumble along our rambling courses.

Hi, I belong to the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers (RMFW) group, and have been attending weekly critique groups for almost 6 years. But as you might guess RMFW is focused on novel and short story length fiction. What I'm looking for is a critique group here in Denver that specializes on teleplays. Does anyone know of such a group here in Denver?

Well, they didn't actually list her name (just her co-producer's name), but that's my awesome daughter's trailer for The Worst Day Ever! So proud of those girls.

Congratulations all! I look forward to seeing these on the big screen at Sunscreen! Well done!!!

Hey there howdy there! I don't know if too many of network connections are under 25, but if you are, please check out and "like" my daughter's entry in the Stage 32 and U+ Project Trailer Film Festival contest: http://uplusproject.com/project/video/790/the-worst-day-ever-trailer.html

Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Nashville where my script, Dead Man Blues, was a winner in the Music-Inspired category of the First Annual Nashville Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.

Nice to meet you, Jefferson!

Thank you Mister Jefferson :)

Hey Jefferson, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
