I am the former owner of the Applause Screenwriting Competition. I created the contest, selected the judges (including lead judge Lew Hunter,  screenwriting professor emeritus at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television), and provided cash and product prizes for the top 3 prize winners. I read all the scripts, selected the finalists, and sent them to the judges for selection of the winners.

I am now writing/marketing my own scripts. I wrote, produced and directed the short Capital Women shown at Sacramento's Crest Theater as part of the A Place Called Sacramento contest.
