Return with me now, to
those thrilling days of
Yesteryear

I had this poster on my wall when I was in college.



Dennis Hopper, in Easy Rider, just before he's blasted into the Promised Land by rednecks with a shotgun.

The script I sent out to Contest Voir Dire this year is

To get her Marine father home, a young girl drags a recluse hippie out of self-imposed exile to stop the war in Iraq.

What I learned (besides I'm placing too much emphasis on contest results) is that RETRO needs readers old enough to recognize the social context.

I read an article about Clint Eastwood in which he said, don't aim projects at the lowest common denominator.

So, I keep telling myself, not everyone in Hollywood is 20.

Not everyone in Hollywood is 20.

Not everyone in Hollywood is 20.
