Hey, everyone: I just received notice that I am one of only two FINALISTS in this year's FAITH IN FILM's INTERNATIONAL SCREENWRITING COMPETITION for my script TWO GARDENS, a comedy... Plus, they sent me 3 pages of notes and suggestions. For the record, there were only 400 entries. Well, not bad for an Old Guy! Now, if the phone were to start ringing... Yeah, right... LOL ;-)

Hi Nova Elizabeth, it’s funny you asked! Apparently, they enjoyed my version of the Adam & Eve story, which I adapted from the Urantia book (not the Bible)... Here's what happened: One day, completely frustrated with the first dramatic draft, I remembered THE PRODUCERS, the comedy-musical with Mel Brooks as the singing Hitler (Springtime for Hitler, song and dance). It struck me: what if I took A&E’s real-life story and turned it into a full-blown comedy? So, I did from the Urantia tale. Yes, I’ve already finished another draft with some of Faith in Film's ideas/suggestions in mind. Of course, A&E aren’t singing or dancing in my story, but they’re doing the impossible: Adam’s been asked to come to Earth (Urantia) and save the human race by creating a new Adamic bloodline. Meanwhile, Eve has been asked to accompany him while she witnesses him impregnating over 1800+ local women from the various tribes. Not to mention, there’s an earthquake that destroys GARDEN ONE, and everyone has to move to GARDEN TWO… HENCE, the title: TWO GARDENS. What a world they lived in for over 1000 years, which is why they brought the TREE OF LIFE with them. I hope I haven’t bored you… But that’s what happened, and I’m sticking to my story. Go figure... LOL ;-)
