Ernest Thompson is a novelist, an Academy Award-winning screenwriter, a playwright, director, actor, lyricist, an in-demand public speaker, and a teacher. His own work has been produced around the world and he has helped hundreds of other writers develop their stories and thousands of actors realize their dreams of improving their skills and confidence on stage and in front of the camera.
It was an honor.
JAMES EARL JONES (1931-2024)
“He liked to portray kings and generals, garbage men and bricklayers; perform Shakespeare in Central Park and the works of August Wilson and Athol Fugard on Broadway. He could strut and court lecherously, erupt with rage or melt tenderly; play the blustering Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (2008) or an aging Norman Thayer Jr. in Ernest Thompson’s confrontation with mortality, On Golden Pond (2005).”
~The New York Times

Written and directed by Ernest Thompson, this film adaptation of his one-act play The Constituent—a grizzled New Hampshire woodsman writes scathing and profane letters to his Senator in Washington, D.C., who finally has had enough and comes to pay a (not so) friendly visit—is more timely than ever. And even funnier. And it’s crazy funny. And reassuringly optimistic, too, proving that authentic human connection can still trump our political differences. Well, maybe not trump. Starring Ernest and Emmy winner Gordon Clapp in the roles Burgess Meredith and Ned Beatty originally played on TV, along with New York’s darling Lisa Bostnar, is presently in post-production.
