Hi Ron. Looks like I'll miss Tuesday as I have to go out of town for a funeral. If you want to mention the screenwriters group, that'd be great. I'll be glad to say a bit more about it next month. Bottom line for the group is to get local screenwriters together to share, collaborate, provide feedback and generally bounce ideas off of each other.
Hope you have a good meeting, and I'll see you next month.

I do. Have completed two feature lengths, plus numerous shorts. Starting on the third. Have been studying in UCLA's Professional Program in SW online. It's fab and really tough.

Not too much to the 'group' yet, but would be glad to mention it. I intend to be at the meeting, but may have to go out of town on family matters. I'll plan on being there and will let you know if I have to bow out.

Hi Ron, I just finished updating a screenplay set in the Dayton area called The Dark Edge. Thomas Girvin was kind enough to review it and give me some pointers. The Dark Edge includes both a reference to PicsMatch and a couple of scenes at DDN (have no idea if I got the DDN stuff close to reality). Be glad to share it with you if you'd like to read it.

Hey Ron - thanks for asking about my project - right now I'm waiting on financing from a Calf studio. We are working on the contract now- but tentatvely we plan to shoot a portion of the film here in Dayton! Think the producer is eyeing Detroit for the rest. Will keep people informed here on Filmdayton how progress is going -
Wanted to make you aware of a schoolmate I went to Yellow Springs with back in the 80's - She's doing well now with several films under her belt and make sure to check out her story of how she got her first financed! Girl is a tiger! So a lot of folks aren't hip to her but here's two good links! Thanks!

Hey, Ron. We'd spoken at the last meeting. Just seeing what I've got to do to get some spotlight time. Thanks.

I just got back into town. I'll call you tomorrow.

Sure, I can show a couple. They're very short so it shouldn't be too painful for everyone to sit through...
