June 5th Hollywood Republicans Mixer w/     Filmmaker Cyrus Nowrasteh     Cyrus began his career in 1986 writing on the CBS television series, The Equalizer. He went on to work on other series (Falconcrest, D.E.A.), and wrote the pilot for the USA Network show La Femme Nikita (1996). He also worked on independent films such as the American/Brazilian production The Interview (1997, writer/co-producer), which played at Sundance and on the Showtime network; and Norma Jean, Jack and Me (1998), a film that was not theatrically released but played the festival circuit and aired on HDNet. In 2001 he wrote and directed the highly-rated, award-winning Showtime presentation The Day Reagan Was Shot, which starred Richard Dreyfuss as Alexander Haig and was executive produced by Oliver Stone. The following year he wrote 10,000 Black Men Named George, the story of the Pullman strike of the 1930s, for Showtime. For both of the above films Nowrasteh received the Pen USA West Literary Award for Best Teleplay, the only writer in the history of the Pen awards to win two years in a row in the same category. The Day Reagan Was Shot also received the Eddie Award and the Golden Satellite Award for Best Motion Picture for Television, 2001, as well as a SAG nomination for Best Actor (Richard Dreyfuss). More recently Nowrasteh wrote the "Manifest Destiny" episode of the highly regarded (16 Emmy nominations) Steven Spielberg and TNT miniseries presentation, Into the West. Following that Nowrasteh wrote and produced the controversial ABC miniseries The Path to 9/11. He then went on to co-write (with his wife, Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh), and direct the film The Stoning of Soraya M., released in 2009 by Lionsgate Films http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0637493/bio   Coffee/Tea and Dessert only (No Dinner) Date: June 5th, 2013 Time: 7:00 - 9:00 PM (Approx) (Reception/Check in- starting at 6:30)  Place: Mayflower Club             11110 Victory Blvd (Across from Target)             North Hollywood, CA 91606   Cost: $5.00 for Members, $9.00 for Non-Members (Cash or Check- Sorry no credit cards) Free Parking behind building, on street after 7:00 and in the Target parking lot.
