About this user
H grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia and is based in Los Angeles. She loves words, color, art, listening to music and eating imported gourmet dark chocolate (although not necessarily all at the same time). H. Raven Rose is her pen name. Her combined loves, training and education, are in Writing, Art, Self-Development, Transpersonal Psychology, and Spirituality. She is primarily a Screenwriter, Writer, Coach and Speaker.
She received her Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Screenwriting from Lesley University, Cambridge, MA, and is a graduate of The University of Melbourne, Filmmaking Summer School, Australia where she co-wrote, co-directed, co-produced and co-edited the short romantic comedy Speed Dating: In 60 Seconds or Less. That film short was produced on DVD, with limited release, and screened in Australia. She studied documentary filmmaking at Melbourne University and Duke Universitys Center for Documentary Studies. Her play Dark Eros was produced as staged readings in Los Angeles, one of which starred Jessica Biel.
Formerly H penned a monthly column, Notable La Jollans, for the La Jolla Outlook. For that column she was privileged to interview, photograph and write about several fascinating La Jollans, including Françoise Gilot, an artist who, in 1990, received the Knight in the Legion of Honor for her career as artist, writer and feminist. Gilot was the lover of Pablo Picasso, and the mother of his two children, Claude and Paloma. H also interviewed former California Scientist of the year Dr. Ron Evans.
She has been Creative Screenwriting Expo Faculty and taught there each Fall through 2006 (she is on a teaching hiatus to focus on her own career). In 2006 and 2004, H was delighted to be named a Star Speaker of Creative Screenwriting Expo by Creative Screenwriting Magazine. She has taught workshops or been an invited speaker in many other venues including Rollins College, Winter Park, FL, the UCF Noontime Knowledge Series, and Pace Center for Girls in Orlando, FL. Part of her work includes creating Word FLOW workshops, books and products.
