‘ONE HAND CLAPPING’ Written by Jerry Alden Deal All these projects reflect his interest in mystical, metaphysical, and transformational themes. He also has several other film projects in development, with The God Dilemma and The Inner Sonic Key being at the top of the list. You might say that he is returning to his roots where he went to college and where he first got involved in indie filmmaking, and near where he grew up in San Antonio. Jerry is currently prepping to direct his screenplay One Hand Clapping, to be shot in the Austin, TX area in spring 2014. During the film’s 2012 festival circuit, it garnered 17 film festival awards worldwide. Thus, his seventeenth screenplay, Dreams Awake was born, which he also directed and produced. Invigorated by the possibilities of modern digital media and the viewing public's expanding interest in transformational themes, Jerry decided to set up a production company, Way To Go Media, to develop his own projects. In addition, he spent several years at Sony Pictures Entertainment, which gave him a film business education into how the film industry works at the studio level. Jerry has also worked on other filmmakers' projects, learning the nuts and bolts of production, working from production assistant to producer, as well as directing several shorts. During that same period several of his spec scripts were also optioned. Over the past thirty years Jerry has been hired numerous times to develop and write screenplays for other production companies.
