Lana Turner supposedly got discovered sitting at Schwab’s Pharmacy.

Thrilled to have TWO of my screenplays make the Austin Film Festival 2nd round this year! (Placement of the third one along with a short film I directed still pending.)🤞

Looking forward to going back after last year provided such a burst of motivation. 🖨
