David H. Steinberg grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, entered Yale at age 16, and earned his law degree from Duke University, where he served as editor-in-chief of the law review. After four years of entertainment law in Atlanta and New York, he abandoned his legal career to attend U.S.C.’s Peter Stark Producing Program. Steinberg broke out as a writer in 1999 with his teen comedy SLACKERS that ignited a bidding war for the script. The movie starred Devon Sawa, Jason Schwartzman, and model Jaime King and became an instant cult classic. Steinberg was immediately hired by Universal Studios to pen the sequel to the smash hit AMERICAN PIE, and as a result, that movie had the highest gross of all the films. In another high profile script sale, AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL was made into Steinberg’s third teen comedy, starring Amy Smart, Tom Arnold, and Horatio Sanz. Steinberg served as co-producer on that film, released in 2005 by Sony as NATIONAL LAMPOON’S BARELY LEGAL. In addition, Steinberg has worked extensively within the studio system, writing for DreamWorks, Universal, Sony, Disney, Fox, MGM, Warner Brothers, New Line, and Paramount. Projects in development include the high concept comedy OTHER PEOPLE’S WISHES for Warner Brothers; the remake of the classic 1980’s comedy PORKY’S; the big-budget ANUBIS TAPESTRY for Fox Animation Studios; and the sequel to the 1979 classic comedy LOVE AT FIRST BITE for MGM. Last year he wrote the New Line family comedy FURRY FRIDAY about a cat and dog switching bodies; and his movie PUSS IN BOOTS, the feature spin-off of SHREK 2, was released in theaters everywhere on November 4. PUSS IN BOOTS received an Annie, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award Nomination for best animated feature film. In television, Steinberg has written several sitcom pilots for Fox, UPN, Paramount TV, and ABC Family. On the directing side, Steinberg directed the award-winning short film, THE BABYSITTER, and the feature film MISS

My name is Candace Hudgens and I am a 26 year old young woman who loves reading, writing and trying to always learn something new. If I don't know the answer, believe me I'm not afraid to ask someone or go looking for the answer myself. I am a very ambitious and creative person. There are many different types of fields of work that I enjoy doing. A couple of those would be: directing, modeling, dancing, choreographing and designing clothes. I'm not someone who has to be asked again and again to do their assignments. I enjoy completing my tasks and making many accomplishments. Writing is also something I have enjoyed especially when I was younger but as I got older I didn't quite have the time anymore. Things in my life have recently changed though, and now I have found the time and I am eager to see where my writing will take me.

The bold text above the text box I'm writing this in would have me tell the world about myself. Is that your game, bold text? Game ON, then. Ladies and gentlemen (from this point forward I shall call you "The Reader"), my name is Billo. When introducing myself, I like to present the following points. My name (already covered) My hobbies What you can expect from me (usually exaggerated) What's my sign? (I usually hang out at hippie parties) Second thing's second, The Reader! My hobbies. I'm not much into religion, so my entire stance on life is that we're killing time 'till we go. Hobbies are therefore a must! My two main hobbies are writing and directing video shorts for the internet and writing a blog. Does that hum something along the tune of impressive? I hope so... your opinions are all I have left. Point three, what can you expect from me? At college parties where I usually wield this conversation starter, I usually exaggerate ("I can chug two kegs by myself and then I can beat up like... so many dudes", "You heard what about me? You heard I puke after one sip of a wine cooler? That's ridiculous, doll... just ridiculous", etc) But for this blog, I'll be legitimate with my claims. You can expect me. If you read or watch my stuff for a lengthy period of time, you begin to see my style. I can't put it down in words for you, I just write what I write how I write it. If you're down with that, then I'm down with that. Groovy, babies. Onward! My sign? My sign is Aries. I was born April 14th (For those of you who wanted to put it on the calender. I'm not saying I expect "Happy Birthday" emails or anything... it'd just be nice.) SO, there it is. I've done what you've asked of me, bold text. Are you happy? I'm happy. I'd like you to be happy as well so that I can say that we came to a mutual satisfaction, but I won't press the issue any longer. Billo
