ScreenwritingU Alum Richard Willett has been hired by Producer Alex Azmi to co-author a screenplay based on his story of a day in the life of an immigrant woman who runs a hot dog stand.

Producer Alex Azmi read his short script THE GAZEBO. After a conversation, Richard was hired!

Richard stated, “The producer seemed somewhat surprised that I was so willing to listen to notes. That’s something, of course, that I learned in ScreenwritingU.”

The producer has had a table-read of the script, begun casting, and production is underway.

Congratulations, Richard!
