Our time in this dimension lasts for relatively the time an eyelid takes
to blink ..
Use wisely this time you have here to make your life a
positive contribution to our universe
Hi,
Thanks
for visiting :-)
You
are the reason I write. I
write about Life from more than a fictional point of view.
After flat lining twice during brain surgery because of a
military tragedy, I was awakened with a
sixth sense of Life and an illuminating view of the physical
world in which I found myself living.
Recovering
from massive head trauma and amnesia, in therapy at Bethesda
Naval Hospital, I was to write
what I had for breakfast, lunch and dinner and what was reported
in news broadcasts so that I could train my memory. Three
years later, these journals of cognitive exercise led me back to
Hampton University, where I continued my mass media studies and
where I graduated with multiple honors.
After Hampton, I was awarded a writing fellowship with
Paramount Pictures and Eddie Murphy Productions in Hollywood.
Over the next years, I worked for production companies at 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios and Orion Pictures.
Some of my shows include: Tequila and Bonetti; South
Central; Quantum Leap; Coach; Major Dad;
L.A. Law; Harry and the Hendersons; Murder, She
Wrote; Columbo, movie of the week; and the major
motion picture, A Berry Merry Christmas. I was also
nominated for an Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy
Award for The Chaser.
Years
and a new lifetime later in Florida, I am a father, husband,
author, screenwriter, playwright, and producer painting pictures with words
for the world to see and appreciate itself better in the cosmos.
I am, as we all are, growing each day closer to the day that my
body dies. During the time I have left in this form, I hope for
the universe and individual well being, growth, and
understanding.
I pray for the children of tomorrow that they might further
expand the progress we have made as human beings.
My
published books so far are: Jason’s
Final Coming, fiction,
Helvena,
fiction, and Surviving Head
Trauma, non-fiction.
For
your enjoyment and life lesson, please read one of my favorite short stories: Queen
Benita. I
wrote this when I had writer’s block many years ago in L.A.
I am also an associate producer on Sunshine
Boxing Show which airs
every Saturday at 12:30 EST via www.PeopleTV.org.
Tune in for worldwide
broadcast each week.
My
first play is The
Funny Thing About Death.
This is a twisted tale of how we think we
understand so much about being alive and our impressions
of death. The
staged reading premiered
at Write Act Rep Eastside @ The Richmond Shepard Theatre, New
York, New York, directed by Tchia Casselle. My
second play is Cherry Street
Park. This play illustrates the importance of
friendship, family, being involved rather than silent, and
how one generation shapes the next. Cherry
Street Park,
directed by Dr. Ava
Brewster-Turner, won in three categories at UpStage
Theatre Star Awards, Baton Rouge, La.: Best Supporting Actor, Best
Play, and Best Playwright.
I
just finished the first draft of my third play, The
Waiting Room.
This one is about good and evil, truth and deception. More to come later
:-)
If
you would like performance rights to my plays, you can reach my
agent through the Contact Terry page
on this site.
Thank
you for visiting this address in cyberspace. I hope that from
your experience, you will discover inside yourself the massive expansion
of our universe.
Much
Love,
Terry
Smith
