This is an odd addition to my professional resume. From one point of view, it might be called a waste of time, reading to a small (30 ish) audience not particularly interested in literature, there mostly out of curiosity. But I knew this going in. I schdeduled this without regard to the audience, a present to myself on my birthday. And in this regard, I came through with flying colors. My energy is high, the selections perfect, my comments relevant. This, in fact, is probably as good a literary reading as I am capable of giving. Whatever else it is, it's an accurate representation of my writing and career. https://youtu.be/ZBTn1ulBvTU?si=a-vROqQ7Wbj436yI

This is a comic short film about my younger brother that I created from 15 years of home movies. In the summer of 1966, staying in my parents Medford home while they were back east, I decided to keep busy by organizing Dad's home movies. That's when I discovered that my brother was a born ham. When he saw a camera, he ran toward it or otherwise became the focus of the shot. Stringing clips together for family entertainment was a no-brainer.

Another Typecast artificial intelligence project, creating an audio play from the textual script. The first short scene of a longer work, about a history professor who drops out to spend the remainder of her life emulating the musicians on the Titanic. Looked like it was going to open in Santa Fe until covid hit. Gathering dust ever since. Now it's getting new life.

A dating service for seniors. Opening by Andy Rooney is priceless. In the early days, YouTube only accepted small files, so a short film like this had to be submitted in parts. Part one ... https://youtu.be/_FESX4k6L4E?si=q4YhdGgSm1OKmk0k Part two ... https://youtu.be/GQaGGnKM5Eo?si=YPwK8ujIW8FZoyew Part three ... https://youtu.be/r_1Q3nl7UXE?si=4a7X4bATOKrcsVvI Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com
The first stoplight in Wallowa county (audio)

The publication of this short story as the cover story in the Oregonian's Sunday supplement happened during "my high 1980s" as a Portland writer. Not only was the story featured, with cool cover art, but the same issue contained a rave review of Cocktail Suite, the first hyperdrama I had produced myself. My previous two hyperdramas had been commissioned, and I was eager to have more control over the outcome. The story itself was the result of spending lots of time in Joseph near Wallowa Lake. Quite miraculously, the public television version of my play Christmas at the Juniper Tavern had brought me many fans in Wallowa county, including an anonymous patron who let me use his lakeside cabin rent free for a month every Spring. Joseph almost became a second home. After listening for many weeks to local storytelling (most often in taverns), I told a local story of my own. https://youtu.be/1uk_OZqMTmg Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com
