David Grant: Producer, screenwriter and author in Baltimore, Maryland.

Introduce Myself!

Greetings Stage32 Family!

I'm Cali from L.A. Author turned FILMMAKER. After publishing several bestselling books, I turned to film in 2014 as I wanted to continue to grow as an artist. Screenwriting was NOT my friend when I first started out and I ditched the first script I attempted to write. However, I completed my first feature length script in April and loved every moment of the process.

In January I launched my own production company, TOWER 15 PRODUCTIONS and currently working on a few projects. One in particular is entitled PEARL which celebrates six extraordinary women who have overcome homelessness to find success in the Arts. (I'm one of them as I experienced a year of homelessness in San Francisco before arriving in L.A. at the end of 2013).

In the film we plan to not only share these incredible stories, but also ways in which we are working towards ENDING homelessness once and for all. We are looking to create a MOVEMENT and would love for all of you to join us.

I'm also in the midst of publishing a new FILM series of books geared towards supporting the aspiring and emerging female filmmaker. The first book, IT'S SIMPLY FILMMAKING came out last year and the second, IT'S SIMPLY SCREENWRITING will debut in January, 2020.

I'm a speaker at several publishing conferences and also the Track Coordinator for the Writing for Hollywood Summit at the 2020 San Francisco Writers Conference. If you are in the SF Bay Area, would love for you to join us in February.

Grateful to Richard "RB" Botto and my Stage32 Family for their guidance and support and happy to support YOU any way I can.

Looking for enthusiastic partners to make "All of Us". A feature that entertains, educates and provokes. About what and how the Next Step for Democracy will evolve. I have written four screenplays based on this theme (first ten pages posted). / See 'jobs' though the idea here is collaboration about finances.

Looking for examples of, or even template for, a one-pager to pitch a feature.

I use Final Draft and usually don't have problems with formatting. Currently, I am working on a script that takes place basically in one building. I have my main character doing basically a continuous scene through most of the screenplay. So, she's going in and out of rooms and down hallways -- that kind of thing. Should I go ahead and do a slug line for each scene.

Did you take the Screenwriter's workshop at the DC Writer's Center, about 6 years ago?

I've posted four screenplays about The Next Step for Democracy. Something sorely needed. Am just beginning to promote. https://amzn.to/2JPXDMJ

Looking for creative videographer to shoot a staged reading in St. Louis on October 18. See my Facebook page.

Has anyone worked with the software from MoviePlan.net? It's a template for writing an investment memorandum for film.

Hello, Morgan Fykes. We decided not to do the full script reading. We will, though, be making a video trailer. I'll invite you to auditions for that, when we have a date (probably mid or late February). Thanks for your interest.
