SUMMARY: ONCE IN A LEW MOON
ONCE IN A LEW MOON is a fiercely independent documentary about Legendary Nebraska Screenwriter and UCLA screenwriting chair emeritus LEW HUNTER. In three acts, we follow his life from Nebraska to California and back again. We are introduced to his troubled youth in the poor rural Midwest. Then we follow his pioneering role in the 60's, 70's and 80's as one of the the first screenwriters to teach UCLA courses while still working full time in Hollywood and network television. This godfather of Screenwriting Networking, Lew and his wife Pamela hosted "The Writers Block" , bringing together everyone in the screenwriting business with his students in a socially relaxed discussion group and party. Lew finally 'retires' from UCLA in 1999. Finally we catch up with Lew in current day Nebraska, gathering kids to hear former coach Tom Osborne share their educational and startling realities of Meth abuse in the Cornhusker state. Lew is still making a difference even in retirement! COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU!
