I went to the movies last night and last Thursday night. Are you going back to the theater? What do you think theaters should do to get people back in the seats? Here's a peak at what some cinemas are trying. AMC Theatres Regal Cinemark

Movie theater exhibitors are no longer going to rely solely on studios to drive consumers to theaters.

I got my first full-time job as a television journalist back in 1998 (whaaaaattttt?!?) and have written on the job almost every day since, including nearly 400 episodes of a national t.v. show about movies, but I have just completed my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in screenwriting. I'm thrilled to be able to share my voice in a whole new way and looking forward to the next chapter.

A big congratulations to these 15 Orange County high school students, who were chosen as semifinalists in the film/animation category for Artist of the Year 2021. I would have liked to see a few young women on this page, but I'm not sure how many female OC students are involved in directing, editing, cinematography, etc. and whether any were nominated. Female students: something to think about if you have an interest in film and/or animation. My screenwriting MFA cohort at Cal State Fullerton only had one other woman when I started two years ago and then one more joined a week or two later. Ladies, we want to hear your stories and see your vision as well.

I can't wait to reunite with my friend and former news anchor colleague, Lisa Krch, this morning. I'll be Zooming with her and her students in the Kern High School District discussing screenwriting.
