Jack
Sekowski -- I
have a super cool MFA degree from AFI which impresses everyone
I meet. A member of the amazing WGAw, I've written screenplays
for companies as diverse as Universal Pictures and Disney Feature
Animation. I sold the comedy "BEFORE BILLY" to Lawrence
Gordon Productions and co-wrote the comedy "WHO'S YOUR DADDY" which
was directed by Andy Fickman. (The film that launched
his career before he moved on to "The Game Plan," "Race to
Witch Mountain," and the upcoming "You Again" with Betty White). My
focus is on high concept comedies that strive to touch the
heart as much as the funny bone... metaphorically speaking,
of course. Don't want any of my pages touching living tissue.
Want to avoid infections. Nothing funny about that! Check
out my website for
more info and writing samples.
Ashley Scott
Meyers -- After graduating from college Ashley Scott
Meyers moved from his childhood home in Annapolis, Maryland,
to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career as a screenwriter.
During his first three years in Los Angeles, Meyers wrote
or co-wrote eight feature length screenplays, earned his first
few dollars as a screenwriter, and saw two of his original
screenplays get produced.
Meyers sold Dish Dogs to 7.23 Productions. Dish
Dogs was co-written with long time friend and writing
partner, Nathan Ives. It's a semi-fictitious account of their
travels across the country working as dish washers ("dish
dogs") in various restaurants. Dish Dogs stars Sean Astin,
Mattew Lillard, Brian Dennehy, Shannon Elizabeth, Maitland
Ward, and Richard Moll.
Independent producer / director Douglas DeMarco produced Meyers'
screenplay Reunion which eventually found
distribution in some art house theatres around the world.
During his initial years in Los Angeles, Meyers returned to
school and earned a Masters degree in Mass Communications,
with a screenwriting emphasis, at Cal State, Northridge (CSUN).
Over the next few years Meyers continued to option and sell
many screenplays. Some of the highlights include:
Meyers co-wrote a feature comedy script, Turkey Day,
with Mark Brown (Barbershop) that was optioned to
Evergreen Pictures, LLC (based at Universal).
Man Overboard, also co-written with Nathan Ives,
was sold to and produced by Treasure Entertainment. It's a
broad comedy anchored in the world of boat sales.
Rushlight, a film noir script Meyers wrote while
at CSUN was produced and stars Josh Henderson, Beau Bridges,
Aidan Quinn, and Haley Webb.

Rose -- Marie
Rose holds a Master of Arts degree in Theater from The University
of Texas at El Paso, where she was graduated magna

She has worked for over fifteen years in Los Angeles as a
film and television development consultant and union story
analyst for many clients including Walt Disney Studios, MGM/UA,
The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, New Regency, Village Roadshow,
and Icon. Her development notes have helped shape such feature
projects ranging from Betty White's career reviving The
Proposal to the Academy Award-winning L.A. Confidential and Freddy
Got Fingered (the latter was not Marie's fault; she tried
to warn them).
Marie’s accomplishments as a writer, producer and
director include winning a Walt Disney Fellowship in Screenwriting
for her first screenplay, Divine Intervention. Her
acceptance into the American Film Institute’s Directing
Workshop for Women based on her original short script, Father
Xmas, resulted in her award-winning AFI-DWW short film
starring Dakota Fanning (currently available on iTunes and Amazon).
Marie was accepted into the 2009 Producers Guild of America
Diversity Workshop based on her original reality television
concept submission, The High Roller. Marie’s
sexy comedy, Frenching, was unanimously named by judges
as the "Best Romantic Comedy" of Gotham Screen and the Broad
Humor festivals. Other of Marie’s writings include published
work in both children’s and women’s fiction. Marie
is a proud member of industry affiliations including the Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences, Alliance of Women Directors,
Screen Actors Guild and IATSE Local 700 Story Analysts Guild.
