Screenwriting : Canajun actor, writer, musician praying for sunshine by Derek Stephen McPhail

despite the soggy weather, here in Toronto, 2014 has been shaping up to be a creatively active time. since I began schmoozing on Stage 32, I have been fortunate to get some useful feedback on my first feature screenplay, "Outlaw Trail". I refer to it, as a Gothic western, set primarily in Texas, slightly before the American Civil War. have also made a breakthrough in the development of a second feature script, a time-travel romantic-comedy, "Dreaming Together", a Canadian small town soap opera, set in the context of a 17th century native drama. this summer, I've been cast in leading roles in two interesting no-budget film shorts, "Charlotte" and "Why Me". regards my music, a musical buddy has helped me re-master a collection of original songs for a "greatest hits" (lol) CD, to be released later this summer, as "Feed The Hummingbirds". feel free to have a preview, at: https://soundcloud.com/search?q=uncleSteveMcP. the best of luck to everyone in their creative adventures. happy trails, Stephen.
