The video presents the author as a very thoughtful and engaging personality writer who has found his voice and makes one want to pick up his works and READ them. Which I will now do.

I love getting the behind the scenes view. I have been working/learning video production since the tender age of 12 years old...20 whole years have passed and I am still pursuing my dreams. I have written a screenplay (born in 1996) and I know how long it takes to develop a script...it's amazing that it would take this long even for a well known and loved author such as Mr. Tyree as well. It's just proof that perseverence is a must in all pursuits, and is inspirational to me to see him make "something out of nothing". I am now in a position to try and help my young niece and her best friend become writers and teach them how to put it in screenplay format. I will learn more by teaching them, so we will all benefit and I love being in an encouraging position to young people since I, too have had people along the way to encourage me. That's the real beauty of life, I believe. Posted by: Jacqueline Green | July 17, 2007, 6:24 am
He's quite a character in and of himself--makes me want to tap in to his stories just by seeing his charming personality. Posted by: Laura | July 13, 2007, 5:33 pm
