In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with veteran radio host and award-winning screenwriter Dave Congalton, the man behind the movie Authors Anonymous. Dave shares the nine-year rollercoaster of writing and rewriting the script, navigating Hollywood’s complexities, and eventually seeing his work come to life on the big screen with stars like Kaley Cuoco and Chris Klein. They also explore how Dave’s radio career has influenced his writing, his advice for aspiring screenwriters, and what it’s really like being part of the Central Coast’s creative community.

And if you’re a fan of Authors Anonymous, you’re in for a treat! The film will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a special screening on Monday, September 30, at the Bay Theatre in Morro Bay. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the film begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at the door—don’t miss this chance to see it back on the big screen! You can find more information about the screening here: Bay Theatre: Authors Anonymous 10-Year Anniversary.
