Writer's Biography
Rebecca Lehman Writer
I didn't go to film school. I don't work in the industry. I didn't think writing movies was possible for someone like me. But it's all I've ever thought about and wanted, the one thing I keep coming back to. So I'm teaching myself, and putting myself out there, and maybe one day it will stick.
