LARRY C. HEWARD

What topic do you discuss in script. Why?
Heny Lublin Franks accomplishments and failures.
Act One sets up adventure as a lowly coal town store clerk seeks his destiny in the western territories of New Mexico as a placer gold prospector to a Silver Mine prospector in the Silver Bow District of Butte Montana. Realizing small fortunes, Frank opens first ever Montana Liquor Store in Butte Montana. Act Two showcases Henrys true talents as an enterprising businessman and Politician. Act Three begins a downward spiral from which Henry never recovers. Loss of revenue, loss of credibility, loss of funds, loss of family, loss of life mysteriously age 57. The why is answered in Act Three, wherein my own Grandfather William Charles Heward was a Railway worker the very morning of tragic FRANK SLIDE, one of few who survived the 100 SECONDS OF HELL. In retrospect I am 3rd generation survivor of that event.

How do people feel about reading your script?
Mixed feelings Act One. Acts Two and Three are compelling, engaging, and heartfelt sympathy.

Do you think that films can change people for the better or worse?
Yes. Depending on genre, story may effect many viewers conception of subject matter.
Hopefully for better, yet as history has shown too much violence left unchecked, encourages weak minded persons to commit similar crimes in the real world. Media does indeed change people.
