My Latest Update

Hi everyone. Well, my two biggest tasks right now, my two biggest concerns are one, to get ready to make my second short film, and two, to release the print version of my latest novel, Past Imperfect. It’s up on Amazon [and Barnes & Noble and Kobo] now. I published it through PublishDrive and was able to get it on Amazon that way. So there’s no reason to go through KDP or deal with Amazon directly. So having said that, Amazon has called it the PublishDrive Edition. Okay, whatever you want to call it. It’s still there, whatever it is. PublishDrive edition or first edition, whatever you want to call it.

My Latest Good News!

Hi everyone. This is something unexpected that happened over the weekend. I got an email from the Environmental Film & Screenplay Festival.

 


It says, “Your screenplay is a winner, and we will perform your script at our festival at December or January Festival at the latest. We will email you when your reading is posted, and you can watch the scene. After the reading, we do two interviews with you to keep promoting you and your work, a written interview plus a podcast interview on our popular iTunes show. Then there is also a chance to turn your entire script into one of our ‘Screenplay Movies’ and receive an IMDB credit for it. Congrats!”

Well, wow, that was a little bit surprising, to say the least, and very welcome and well, I guess after 10 plus years of really working at the craft of screenwriting, maybe I’m getting somewhere?

Thank you and be seeing you. That’s all I had to say, really. It was just a nice thing that came in over the weekend. Good news.

Thanks, and talk to you later.

Short Films Made on a Smartphone

10/17/2023 by Debbi

Here’s a short film I made entirely with footage I took on a Smartphone.

 

The voice over was added in post. 🙂

And completely ad-libbed.

And here are more short films I’ve made (and one I didn’t, called “The Red Balloon”.)

This isn’t the end. I’m just beginning! 🙂

 

 

Report on the 48 Hour Film Project

Hi. Yeah, you may have noticed I have a new setup. I just talked about this in another video, which I’m going to show after this. Maybe I’ll cut that part out. Yeah. I have a new setup, and it’s all because my computer crashed.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
