EDITOR’S NOTE: Alumni Dan Olson (MFA\/Directing ’07), along with Derek Johnson (MFA\/Screenwriting ’06), are having their script Grand Portage<\/em> featured on The Blacklist right now. We wanted to share his success, and let Dan talk about how the story came to be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nThey say, “Write what you know,” and for me, that included the possibility that my twin boys were going to die.
\n
\nMy boys were born 11 weeks early, at a scant two pounds each. This was after my wife’s diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Everyday my family feared the worst, but I lucked out. As preemies, our boys avoided all but the most minor complications. Presently, they’re tearing up the house like young boys do. But the trauma of their birth lingers.
\n
\nWriting became therapy. I turned my fears into an honest, heartbreaking, and occasionally funny exploration of grief that I hoped would reveal some of the many ways people handle loss, fear, and moving on. It was the worst fear I had ever felt, and the result was 
\nGrand Portage<\/em>
\n.
\n
\nThe script emerged during a daily train commute in and out of Manhattan, when I was trapped with my thoughts and emotions, emotions strong enough that I needed to put them somewhere other than my head. 
\nGrand Portage<\/em>
\n became the embodiment of a fear that kept me awake at night as I pondered the future of my children, trapped behind protective, plastic shells in a Connecticut Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
\n <\/p>\n

\"grand<\/a>
\n
\n
\nUnlike in life, 
\nGrand Portage<\/em>
\n realizes these fears for my protagonist. He loses his wife and son in premature childbirth and runs to the place of his wife’s youth, afraid he has nothing left – the woods and waters of northern Minnesota. It’s a place I very likely could have ended up had my fears become real, lost in a wilderness on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
\n
\nToday, 
\nGrand Portage<\/em>
\n is The Blacklist’s featured script.
\n
\nA couple of Chapman alums helped me get it there. Prior to completing the script, I joined creative forces with Derek Johnson and Joe Pezzula (both MFA in Screenwriting, 2006), and we got busy utilizing the production skills we gained at Dodge College to develop the film’s path forward.
\n
\nWhen submitting to The Blacklist (
\nwww.blcklst.com<\/a>
\n), we were confident in our work, but we also recognized the need for an objective measure of our story’s strengths and weaknesses. The Blacklist’s feedback and compliments proved invaluable; they armed us with encouragement as well as constructive criticism.
\n

\n
\nNow, a budget and production plan is in place and we’re assembling a creative team.
\n
\nJoe, Derek, and I find ourselves at the beginning of a journey Chapman helped start. We’re elevating 
\nGrand Portage<\/em>
\n from page to screen, a journey that starts in Minnesota, where Derek and I grew up, and where I live today.
\n
\nMinnesota is a perfect logistical choice. The creative community is bursting with talented professionals, and the state’s incentive program makes it a growing destination for low-budget, independent productions.
\n
\nOur storytelling foundation was built at Chapman, and the skills we gained continue to propel us forward. Dodge College’s lessons in producing, management, and story continue to reap dividends as we work to increase the film’s visibility, raise our budget, and prepare for production.
