THE MASTER AND THE MAGICIAN excerpt and more work in the online literary magazine THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Very proud that I was included in the inaugural issue (“SYNESTHESIA”) for the online literary magazine The Creative Process. I’ve only just begun to go through it as there are writers/artists from 30 countries, but I can tell I’m in good company. I have a play excerpt, a photograph and a poem in the issue. Much thanks to the multi-talented Helene Cardona who served as guest editor.

I’ve attached the photo which I took at the Salton Sea at dawn some 16 years ago. (FYI: the play set is long gone as a community center is now at the site of the old abandoned north marina.)

If you enjoyed reading the excerpt and want to see the whole play, I did a zoom reading with a wonderful cast during the pandemic. Don’t be put off that it’s Zoom. It was my 4th Zoom reading that I did and I really figured out how to make to best use the medium of Zoom. https://vimeo.com/584123005 The password is hotchpot.

A Selection form THE LOST TREASURE OF THE MAYANS to be read at the Beaufort International Film Festival (2025)

THE LOST TREASURE OF THE MAYANS – just a fun Indiana Jones-esque romp. The Beaufort Film Festival (in South Carolina) has it as one of the 5 Official Selections. The unusual thing about this festival is that they present 5 or so pages as a public reading with local actors. (Unfortunately I can’t be there, but it’s a very cool thing, happening at 5 pm EST tomorrow Feb. 20, 2025 – free admission – https://www.beaufortfilmfestival.com/schedule-of-events ).

“DON’T EAT PAPER!” a Finalist at VisionFest, NYC

My comedy script “Don’t Eat Paper!” is one of 10 Finalists at VisionFest in NYC.

Short Synopsis: Roy is obnoxiously in love with his therapist, Joanie, whose attempt to “fire” her client unintentionally leads to his death, but Roy’s ghost expects to maintain their “relationship”; however, a wild road-trip with Roy leads Joanie to discover her true mission in life.

After all, sometimes dying is the best therapy!

Julius Galacki appears at the Yucca Valley Film Festival.

I made a full report of my day at the festival on Nov. 10, 2024 on my LIMPING TOWARDS BABYLON website (as that script was an Official Selection):https://www.limpingtowardsbabylon.com/my-day-at-the-yucca-film-festival/

Today, the festival released additional photos of the Scriptwriters / Composers roundtable that I was a part of and thus aren’t in my previous post as those were mostly photos from my own camera:
