experimental digital version of Rosebud痴, a comedic film set in a diner, which she co-wrote.
She has since further developed the script with Steven Beer

the renowned NYC-based Greenberg Traurig; plans are in the works for a 4-week 2011 shoot. She
also wrote the musical, Love! That Four Letter Word, which played in two venues in Massachusetts,
breaking box office records. Deborah has also worked as a journalist, having written for several
magazines on subjects ranging from entertainment to alternative fish through computer chips; she
spent two years at the Cannes Film Festival as a journalist and interviewer for The Business of
Film, a magazine based out of LA. She holds an MS in psychology and, as a licensed hypnotherapist,
practiced hypnotherapy for a short time until her love of theater, film, and the written word took
her away. www.deborahvines.com |
