Virtual Gratuity
A Silhouettes reading video of poetic merging of high tech and 'high,' nomenclature with a pithy, absurd and humorous pacing coupled with puns, double-entendres, triple entendres, a few quasi-paraprosdokians and a dignified crescendo and coda. If my jargon is hard to reach, my message is not. From my bookstore: https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Brian_Spellman. The video can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC57WzpQ_pE

I was a 2017 Recipient of The Phyllis Gebauer Scholarship at The UCLA Extension where I wrote the screenplay JUST LIKE YOU under the tutelages of Chry Balis Screenwriter of ASYLUM 2003?7? starring Ean Mc. Kellum and Miramax Screenwriter Don Hewitt. I also refined JUST LIKE YOU at Pierce College under the great advice of Ken Rotcop (see the terrific film THE MEDGAR EVERS STORY on regular network television once a year - Ken wrote the screenplay RIP, a. and I'll miss him. UCLA Extension Teacher AKA (mine Coachella) Lisa Medway (Maiden name Sussman - now retired somewhere in Portland, Oregon). I have also won numerous Best Movie Poster Awards on FilmFreeway for JUST LIKE YOU, NEGATIVE SPACED OUT (plus a much better Screenplay of that currently under revision but not bad here now on FilmFreeway, poster for BLOOD OF CHRIST (a revision underway to it's short 11 page screenplay NOW on FilmFreeway. Because FilmFreeway trailers cannot exceed 150MB, I could not load this pithy Serial Killer hijinks, instead I type the link to The McAn Man, a fictional account of a Los Angeles elder Serial Killer with a shoe - and rayon lace fetish. These two videos are doppelgangers to the same theme, one silly and the other, rancid and dead serious. Just yesterday, Friday, June 28th I had forgotten that I even made it but in THE McAN MAN, I noticed my missing front tooth, hence datelining the video before September, 2018, when I went to Seaside Terrace in Fountain Valley, (Orange County) an Assisted Living Center where I participated as a subject in a pharmaceutical test-marketing Study, also linked to both versions of my first of only two screenplays that I have written, JUST LIKE YOU and WANDA M&Ms: Here's the link to my video, THE McAN Man (Thom McAn shoes: https://filmfreeway.com/projects/3698383 ...

"Associoationopathing ... my term at my best! Rather than presume your answer to me ... which I confide I do all the time ... speculate on potential audience responses toward my material (one, for having lived alone for nearly forty years, but two, for reasons presumably universal in that we all would like to be understood so think in terms of the thinking of strangers, hoping for either favorable or unfavorable takes ... anything except disinterest and/or apathy). either or whatever, enjoy or do not enjoy ... YOUR answers please .......?" ~ Brian
