Bonnie O'Neill is a writer, director, producer and adoring mother who has taught film and screenwriting in San Francisco for fifteen years and lectured internationally on the transmedia movement. Her latest film project took her to the Congo where she documented the abuse which occurred during Mobutu's reign. In her first novel, #Tweeting the TL, she harnesses her passion for storytelling and satire to expose the dark side of her city's Tenderloin district and bring it into the light. Ms. O'Neill's projects reflect her personal premise: To survive is to merely exist. To thrive is to know bliss. Coffee, chocolate and cats are her only addictions. She and her bi-coastal kitty split time between San Francisco and New York.
