| Message | Hi Darren. Dennis here, I totally agree with your endorsement of Chris Vogler and his Masterwork, "The Writers' Journey". I had the unique experience of being a Screenwriting Student at UCLA. The Instructor was the yet unknown Writing Hero, Chris Vogler. That experience was an 'Eye Opener' for me as well and Finally connected the 'Story Dots' that elude most Writers. His BOOK was being released durning that same time and Chris gave me a personal 'Autographed' copy. Of course, I still have that same Book on my desk and it looks like a child owned it from all my Red, Blue and Green marker notes on every step of the 'Journey'.
As I Produced and Hosted a TV program for my beloved Union, the UAW, Chris was good enough to be one of my first guests and the show was 'Brilliant!', if I may say so myself. Chris made me look very smart as we analyzed the 'Wizard of Oz', 'Star Wars', etc. I later edited in footage of the scenes we discussed. I'm sure you would enjoy a copy and will be happy to provide one for you. My only available platform is VHS but it still works. E mail an address and I will make a copy for you as I sense you are a Fan of his, as am I. I too got to visit his home in Venice and we sat on the beach talking Story and Movies. I was in Writers' Heaven. One of a very select few who could do that. Anyway, I hope to hear back from you soon. I am retired and living in Van Nuys. Hopefully you live nearby. You have my E mail. Regards, Dennis D. |
