May Chaplin ~ Screenwriter
США
Добавлен 29 май 2013
Welcome to my RUclips Channel. I have been writing screenplays for over thirty-five years and have been involved with some wonderful writers groups. I have placed and won several state and national competitions. Through Minnesota Screenwriters' Workshop, my original screenplays have won staged readings by professional actors and I have had winning shorts produced. It's time to share my characters and stories with a few more people. Through the upcoming year, I will be posting readings of my original feature screenplays written since 1986 for entertainment and educational purposes. If you are interested in screenwriting, these videos show how I have written the blueprint for movies with the screenwriting format. Thanks for joining in on this adventure.
