I talk about my screenplay for the feature film 'Lavender', starring Abbie Cornish, Justin Long, and Dermot Mulroney. The writing process and the long journey from page to screen. Followed by a Q&A period.
For Non-Fiction:
I read from 'Such Little Time: A Collection of a Love Letters', written by my mom and dad during their engagement when she was in Northern Ireland and he was in rural Ontario. I then talk about discovering the letters after my dad passed and the process of transcribing them and why I choose to self-publish them and how that compares to traditional publishing. Followed by a Q&A period.
I can also do a mix of two, or all three, of them. I aim to please.
