Help finding George Bamber

Postby Dragon Chaser » Sat Sep 26, 2009 8:14 am

Hello there I'm a newb on the OTR BBS but a 15 year listener to OTR.

I have looked online trying to find information about George Bamber - he wrote 11 scripts for Suspense and I think at least one novel in 1971. There is currently a George Bamber working in film as a first and second assistant director who's film career goes back to the early 90's. It might be the same guy but I don't think so. Anyway I would like to use one of his scripts for a project and the radio shows are in the Public Domain but the writer has copyright on his story for 50 years past his death. So George Bamber the writer even if he is dead has a copyright held on his work. I'm not sure if there is anyone enforcing this copyright though, the author or an estate. Anyone know any more information on this? Thanks!

Below is the info for the author of "The Sea Is Boiling Hot." Not sure if he is the same person who wrote the radio scripts, but might be worth a shot. Let me know if you have any luck.
