THE MAKING OF UNCLE LOUIE: entry 1

Joe and I have been working on Uncle Louie for nearly twenty years. We have been writing together professionally since 1974. We've had many wins. We wrote the script for a shoot ‘em up indie called Lockdown (starring Richard Lynch and distributed by Overseas Film Group) and the thirteen mini=plays for the PBS aired HealthQuest series. We had other scores too, ones that paid money. None of it though was ever enough to soften the punch in the stomach that came with every rejection. Being told “no” hurts; it crushed our hearts and seeded doubt.
