Ian Gurvitz has been working in Hollywood for the past twenty years, predominantly as a TV writer/ Executive Producer. He has worked on such hit shows as, BECKER, GET A LIFE AND FRASIER. He has also written TV pilots and created and produced several network comedies under the banner of studio development deals at NBC Productions, Tri- Star TV and Paramount.
Working as a director for Becker and segued into feature directing by writing the script for his new movie, LA BLUES. This is an independent produced project. I conducted an interview with Ian about his book; which appeared in part one of this story, now we bring you part two- a question and answer series about his film.
LA BLUES, which stars, Anthony Michael Hall and Dave Foley. I started writing spec screenplays years ago in New York. I optioned one.
Did a rewrite on another but even when I started working in TV, I kept writing movies because I had ideas that went beyond the confines of the shows I was working on. TV writing is very specific. A script is written specifically for the characters of that show and within a strict schedule.
