![]() ![]() ![]() It was great training for an aspiring screenwriter. I read probably close to 400 scripts there and did coverage on them-writing synopses and an analyses of the characters, story, and dialogue. Also at Occidental, I got an internship at CineTel Films, a small production company. I got over 40 poems published and it led me to get a writing fellowship at Breadloaf Writer’s Conference and a residency at MacDowell and others. I did readings on campus and began obsessively submitting my poetry to journals. When I was at Occidental College, I was writing a lot of poetry and published in the school literary mag. ![]() I was encouraged by teachers to pursue writing, and in high school, I worked in a library and a video store so I could be close to the art forms that fortified me the most: books and movies. Growing up an only child on a sailboat without a TV, I was always inventing little stories and was encouraged to do so by my smart and funny parents. ![]()
