Introduce Yourself : Retired by Jack N. Young

I'm a retired film person and don't get on here much. Almost 90 years old so all I can contribute here is over 65 years of work in our industry. A Hollywood stuntman for 15 years - 1947 through 1962. Help run Old Tucson Studios in Tucson for 12 years then went out behind the camera in many different positions. I worked as an Extra Handler, Location Manager, then got into the DGA and became a Production Manager and Assistant Director. I also did some casting. So that is my life story. I guess I enjoy braggin' a bit but I'm told if it is all true then it's not bragging. Since I spent my early years working on those old black and white westerns, I felt I knew enough about them that I could write a script. I wrote a western called "Sunset at Ironwater Flats". But, then I found out that getting it financed wasn't as easy as I thought. I tried getting it to all the great producers I had worked with but soon found they couldn't read it unless it was submitted by an Agent. I can't get an Agent for one property, so there you have it. Good luck to the rest of you.
