Chatting With Screenwriters

Wow, did we get all the way through May without a blog entry? It appears June nearly slipped through our fingers as well. So as not to let too much time pass, here's a quick one for you about screenwriting. I don't have much to say about screenwriting myself, but a couple of my recent guests on The Martin Lastrapes Show Podcast Hour do!

I recently spoke with Katarina Leigh Waters (Episode 16) and David Congalton (Episode 20) on the show. 

Katarina Leigh Waters is a former WWE Diva and TNA Knockouts Champion. She's currently transitioning into acting, directing, and screenwriting. During our conversation, Katarina and I talk about her career in the WWE, as well as her screenplay Scavengers in Mourning. Just so you know what an amazing athlete/daredevil she is, check out this video of Katarina diving from a balcony during a match in the UK:

David Congalton is a screenwriter and his latest film is Authors Anonymous, which stars Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory) and Chris Klein (American Pie). David and I talk about screenwriting, mockumentaries, and why it took seven years to get his screenplay produced. Check out the preview for Authors Anonymous:

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. Well, that and finishing up my upcoming vampire trilogy. While you wait for that, be sure to listen to The Martin Lasrapes Show Podcast Hour. You can listen on the official website or you can subscribe on iTunes. There's a new episode every week!
