Send G.E. to the U.K., Feb. 2013

My name is G. E. Gallas, and I am a screenwriter and graphic novelist (writer & illustrator). I will be making a trip to the U.K. early next year, and need your help to make my dreams come true!

1. My short screenplay, The Man Who Never Smiled (a contemporary film noir), is being produced by Dream Catcher Films in the North West of England. This film is being made on a tight budget, and there are no funds for me to get there. It's important for me to be there during filming so that I can make on-the-spot changes to the script and get hands-on experience in film production.

2. In between filming will be the perfect opportunity to visit London to research the 18th-Century poet-painter William Blake, the hero of my graphic novel The Poet and the Flea. I plan to visit Blake's grave as well as various museums that house his works. Seeing his works in person would be life changing. This would be my first time in England, and I hope to make this an unforgettable learning experience.

3, In addition, I'm hoping to visit Barcelona, Spain to visit my friend Elena who I haven't seen in almost 3 years. Here, I'm hoping to find inspiration for my next screenplay or graphic novel.

While in Europe, I plan to document my travels. When I return, I will share my photos and experiences with all of you through my blog gegallas.wordpress.com.

Thank you for your support!

Gratefully,

G. E.
