  Chris Keane, author of "The Hunter," the title of Steve McQueen's last movie
  

  I have never seen 30 minutes go by faster than this morning's interview with author and scriptwriter, Chris Keane. Chris's intellect, humor and candor make for exciting listening--and learning. His new book, Romancing the A-List: Writing the Script the Big Stars Want to Make," was published two weeks ago and is getting rave reviews.
  
  A few years ago, in my own quest for figuring out my directions, I took a week long scriptwriting class from Chris at the Maui Writer's Conference. I learned so much from his casual but piercing teaching style--including the fact that, for now, I'm not sure I have the discipline or passion required to write a successful script. There may also be an issue about talent! However, reading Chris's new book stirred up my interest all over again.
  
  He presents such a clear and simple way of approaching the craft of script writing. It's a fun read whether or not you have any interest in writing a script for a movie. But if you do, it's a must read.
  
  Chris also shared some personal insights that he recently acquired, giving an equally candid peak into his own life and psyche. This was a great interview--and so much fun that I forgot for a few minutes that I was the host.
