From the Projection Booth : Three Screenplays

Twice as Bright
High school basketball coach Phil Novak has a heart attack and dies during a pick-up game--only to discover himself playing for the 1957 Boston Celtics.

Making Corrections
Prison teacher Gary Sanderson meets and befriends an innocent-seeming inmate and helps him escape. But the inmate turns out to be not at all what he seemed.

Something Borrowed
Valerie and Ken are a happily married teacher and social worker, but they are fed up with being poor. So they devise what seems like a perfect plan--split up, court and marry rich people, take them for a fortune in the divorce, then come back together and live happily-ever-after.

Award-winning teacher and writer John Sheirer wrote these screenplays while working as a movie theater projectionist between "real" jobs. Although these visions never made it to the big screen, readers of this book now have the chance to project them through their own imaginations.

John Sheirer teaches public speaking, writing, and literature at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, Connecticut. A winner of several writing awards (including screenwriting awards from Writer's Digest magazine), his writing has been published widely in print and on the internet. His other books include Shut Up and Speak! (public speaking guidebook), Saying My Name (poems), and Free Chairs (essays). His current project is a memoir, Growing Up Mostly Normal in the Middle of Nowhere.
