2. Why did you decide to write this screenplay?
My babysitter took me to Woodstock in 1969 when I was 5-years old. The story is based on some of the experiences I had there.
3. How long have you been writing screenplays?
I started two years ago after my intestines fell out of my body on an airplane. Prior to that I've been an improvisor/actor. I used the writing as a way of channeling my creative energy while I was bed ridden.
4. What film have you seen the most in your lifetime?
The Wizard of Oz
5. What artist in the industry would you love to work with?
Tom Mankiewicz
6. Who was your hero growing up?
Batman
7. Ideally, where would you like to be in 5 years?
I'd love an opportunity to direct one of my films and have my TV series "Time Dash!" in production.
8. Describe your process; do you have a set routine, method for writing?
I write every morning from 5-6:30am and at night from 7-9PM. I find having a rigid schedule makes me more productive and creative.
9. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
Improv and sketch comedy.
10. What influenced you to enter the WILDsound Script Contest?
Having an opprtunity to hear actors interpret my words into characters with emotion.
