Hi Again!
It was a great pleasure meeting you…wherever it was that we met. Either way, it was so nice to meet you, we should probably meet again, or at least keep in touch! Here’s where you can find me on social media:
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time remembering everyone I meet and what we discussed, especially if it was at one of those large networking type events where you collect about fifty business cards to take home and can’t remember anyone. It happens. Let me provide some possible clues:
- Writing for television, film and multi-platform (web) – I am a writer who has co-written and sold a multi-platform series with Bernie Su. I have also written scripts with my sister, Julie Benson and I have written, directed and produced a webseries pilot called #Follow. My IMDB Page. You can see my work here: Watch #Follow
- I am currently employed as Ashley E. Miller’s assistant ( IMDB for him) so perhaps we met in relation to him.
- I’ve maintained a screenwriting blog, Shouting Into the Wind since 2004.
- I like all manner of tea and am a budding oenophile. Did we discuss beverages?
- I just really liked the cut of your jib. Hey, it’s a compliment!
Maybe you still don’t remember. It’s okay, I won’t hate you. Maybe I’ll remember YOU, though! Leave a comment below and I’ll see if I can help us remember why you are here. Even if we can’t, it’ll be like we are meeting again for the first time!
