MICHAEL J. FARRAND

Michael J. Farrand was born October 19, 1959 in Oakland, California, and lived as a child in such faraway places as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Moscow, U.S.S.R. After college he also lived in Italy. Educated at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, Mr. Farrand first turned his pen to plays and screenplays, and then to lyrics and poetry.

He is the author of REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY FOR THE MODERN ERA: a Proposed Amendment to the U.S. Constitution , the inventor of Story Dynamics, and the compiler of the Magic Star of Dramatic Writing. Screenwriting guidance he offers in "How to Write a Screenplay", which may one day end up in book form, results from his own experiences writing screenplays, and five years as administrator of the Empire Screenplay Contest. He is available for script consulting. He also introduced the mandoletto to the mandolin line, and hopes one day to learn how to play it.
