Our next guest is Lana Palmer, a playwright and filmmaker. Her works has been featured at Bread & Butter Theatre, Dragon Theatre and the Potrero Stage, where her first full length play, Funeral Game, was featured. I had the pleasure of being a part of the Playwright’s Center of San Francisco’s showcase, where Lana’s one act play, The Cosmic Void, was featured. Lana is also a gifted composer, with over 100 of her compositions being used in television series worldwide. We talk about her career, where she got started and where she sees herself in the future.
