A Life


Yesterday, in perfect weather for shooting video, I gathered the material for a piece on Round Bend contributor Charles Deemer.

We sat in the Park Blocks in and around Portland State, where Deemer has taught screenwriting for the past fifteen years.

It was cloudy and cool under the canopy of the park's many trees.  A few drops of rain fell and a relaxed discussion ensued.

We covered a lot of territory, more than enough to fill a ten-minute bio/assessment of his work.  Now comes the chore of paring it down to a literate whole.

I'll take a little time with it, see what transpires.

I like the possibilities inherent in this one.  Deemer is a natural storyteller, so this piece could go in a myriad of directions.

I need to brood about it and play with it.
