GREG BERLANTI<\/p>\n
Age: 28. Why him? An exec producer of “Dawson’s Creek,” he just wrote and directed his first feature, the accessible gay-posse flick “The Broken Hearts Club – A Romantic Comedy” (out, so to speak, in September). The script attracted actors like Dean Cain and “Frasier’s” John Mahoney, while the film earned standing ovations at its Sundance 2000 premiere.<\/p>\n
Work Ritual: “I put a song on repeat. It works like Pavlov’s dogs – it triggers emotions for me to fall right back into writing a scene. I’ve done that with ‘I Will Always Love You’ – the Whitney version.”<\/p>\n
Jeans or Khakis: “Oh, please. Khakis. With no pleats.”<\/p>\n
Who’d play him in the biopic: “My friend Jason Behr.”<\/p>\n
Knew he’d made it when” “Right after the screening at Sundance, when my mother and father and I stood in the corner and cried.”<\/p>\n
Next: Directing “Why Can’t I Be Audrey Hepburn?”; awaiting word on who will direct his follow-up script, “Her Leading Man”; “Creek’s” fourth season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
