"Although we seldom talk about it in these terms, writing is a means of prayer.  It connects us to the invisible world.  It gives us a gate or conduit for the other world to talk to us whether we call it the subconscious, the unconscious , the superconscious, the imagination, or the Muse.  Writing gives us a place to welcome more than the rational.  It opens the door to inspiration.  It opens the door to God or, if you would, "Good Orderly Direction."  Writing is a spiritual housekeeper.  Writing sets things straight, giving us a sense of our true priorities."

from "The Right to Write" by Julia Cameron
Screenwriting

I have added screenwriting to my list of endeavors in the film and acting community.  I have made a short film called "No One Ever Suspects The Chinese Guy", which I wrote in three hours formatting it with Microsoft Word for Windows.

I have since upgraded to Final Draft software, as well I have a copy of Movie Magic Screenwriter software.  In our ever changing and evolving industry I believe it is necessary for us to create our own work and tell our own stories, both as locals in the Vancouver market and as Canadians in the national arena.

I have collaborated with friends in the past to write both scenes and scripts.  I helped write a feature, several short films and a couple of episodes for a TV series.  Below are some examples of short scripts I have written, a couple of CBC submissions and my short film.  Click on any of the titles below to read them.
