The Stage 32 Videos: Rai

I got to thinking about the summer (1976) I spent on the road all over Central Iowa to help a truck driver deliver pop for a local soft-drink bottler. That experience ended up becoming a half-hour sitcom pilot I wrote for a screenwriting class I took three years later at Iowa State University. That script was called "Long Way..." and it involved a pair of newcomers to driving for a soft-drink bottler. Not long after I joined Stage 32 (January 2019), another member (Cannon Rosenau) encouraged me to revisit "Long Way." Now...it's a feature-length script where the granddaughters of those two truckers I wrote about in 1979 want to drive big rigs, too. (Currently, one granddaughter's a food server; the other is an office worker. And they're annoyed with those two gigs.) Well...here's the ScreenplayIQ video to prove it. (Thanks for the inspiration, Cannon!)

Hope you enjoy the trailer...it's great to be back!
