Grand Jury Award-Feature Screenplay Half an Hour Cafe
As a television reporter and documentary producer I was fortunate enough to interview Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou and Julius Erving. I Interview Doc 40 years after being in the arena in Norfolk, Virginia, watching him play as a rookie.
All three were gracious and eloquent.
I have been writing scripts and blending those scripts with video professionally since 1983.
I love telling stories.
