Autumn Stories - Parlez Vous Français?

The woman on the phone was from the Writer's Guild of America, west, independent film committee; Kay Shaber Wolf. She asked the woman on the other end of the phone, groggy, up since 6 am screenwriter-producer, J, how she was...J repsonded, "I'm fine, and how are you?" "I'm good," replied said head of the international committee of the wga, w..."How would you like to go to France." Those words are still ringing in my ears. "How would you like to go to France?"""""""""Really...?" Is how I replied. "Yes," she responded, "they selected your film."

It is really shocking to "win" something...anything...the $25.00 coupon at the local Co-Op for groceries...with organic milk over $4 a half-gallon, that ain't chump, change -- however, seven weeks paid residency in France, living in a restored Abbey, going on a private tour of the Louvre, meeting the who's who of French cinema??????? Quel surprise! How does a local girl from South Central LA find herself being selected to travel to Paris -- yes the one in France -- with august, award winning fellow screenwriter/directors? Tune in to find out....
