"Ganja Tales" the screenplay is a 107-page drama I've just finished. To create it, I peeled out three short stories from my volume and wove them into the overall fabric of a 6-act ensemble road story about a brother with PTSD driving to Seattle with his epileptic sister in order to grow CBD weed for both of them. But he can't save his sister -- only the stripper with esp can. Yeah, I know. Such a sweet kid. And she had to do such heavy lifting :) At any rate, this is how I spent the last two years and it's a principal reason why I'm stark raving mad today. Now you know why two "Ganja Tales" exist. I hope you're as relieved as I am now that this knowledge is out there. If for some reason your eyes and brain are not weary enough, you can avail yourself of the "Ganja Tales" screenplay on THIS VERY SITE.
A brother and sister narrowly escape a trigger-happy cop in Nebraska and serial killers in Utah as they and four friends drive to Seattle to grow medical marijuana for her epilepsy and his Iraq War PTSD. One of their companions, an ex-stripper, must use her intuitive powers to save them. craigpughstories.wordpress.com

Tears and recriminations, accusations and regrets. The whole nine yards. It's all about screenplays now -- me, the guy who always had his nose in a book. I know: the irony. So happy to be on Stage 32 talking to people who love what I love, the art of screenwriting.
Hi William,, I know exactly what you mean, having been a Creative Director and Owner of an ad agency...I do love the art of telling a story on film.
