About the Author
CHARLES DEEMER is a teacher and writer, primarily a scriptwriter through most of his career. Since the 1980s he has been a pioneer in the new environmental theater form called "hyperdrama," which are plays performed in real spaces with a branching narrative and simultaneous scenes generated by scripts written in hypertext. Deemer received his BA at UCLA (Phi Beta Kappa, Honors English) and his MFA in Playwriting at the University of Oregon. Presently Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University and, via the Internet, for Writers on the Net. In 1994 Deemer created one of the first websites for screenwriters and playwrights, which he maintained until 2001. He is the author of an electronic screenwriting tutorial written in hypertext, Screenwright: the craft of screenwriting.
