Breakfast is composed of seven separate scenes, each occurring on a different morning at the same Los Angeles eatery

In the manner of La Ronde, each scene is a revealing conversation between two characters - one new & one from the previous scene - and the focus is on relationships (gay, straight, friends, lovers), the entertainment business, and especially about being young and confused in Los Angeles

Zipporah Porton is currently Story Editor at Stan Winston Productions in Hollywood, CA. She was born and raised in Champaign, Illinois and lived there until the age of 17 when she moved to St. Louis to attend Washington University. In St. Louis, Zipporah majored in Art History and Film. After graduation, she moved to Los Angeles and hasn't looked back.

Zipporah has been writing for as long as she can remember. The most important event in her writing career occurred in her senior year of high school when her play The Wordless Skye was chosen to be produced by the students. Zipporah wrote and directed the three act play that also won a national playwriting contest. In college, Zipporah turned to writing screenplays. She completed three full length screenplays, and wrote and directed a short film entitled Just Passing Through. Also in college, Zipporah co-wrote a play that was performed by her sorority and a fraternity for the yearly carnival.

Since moving to California, Zipporah has focused more of her attention on development work and has put writing on the backburner. Breakfast is a work very close to her heart because it illustrates some of her disillusionment towards the "Hollywood Scene".
