Grant Cogswell (born October 24, 1967) is an American screenwriter, independent film producer journalist, poet, and political activist. == Life == Cogswell coauthored the Seattle Monorail Initiative, a proposal to build a citywide monorail transit system, which was voted into law in November 1997. The agency created by the law survived four challenges at the ballot; a fifth and final challenge (2005) was successful in defeating the project after questions were raised about the financing of the $1.7 billion plan. In 2001, Cogswell campaigned for Seattle City Council against incumbent Richard McIver. Though at the outset the chances of success were rated low by the media, Cogswell was recognized as a legitimate challenger, but his hopes were dashed by the occurrence of the primary election just seven days after the attacks of 9/11. Cogswell entered the movie business himself in 2005 after writing a feature-length screenplay, ''Cthulhu'', based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Starring Tori Spelling, the film appeared in limited theatrical release in the U.S. in 2008 and is available on DVD. Cogswell relocated to Mexico City in 2006, where he founded ''Under the Volcano Books'', an English-language bookstore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grant Cogswell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
