PRIMETIME: Join me at the Expo!
For anyone interested in writing for TV or film, the Screenwriting Expo is a tremendous opportunity!
Hey, everyone-- wanted to let you all know (and invite you!) that I'll be speaking at this October's 2010 Screenwriting Expo, one of the world's biggest, coolest screenwriting conferences.
The annual Expo pulls in Hollywood's top writers and producers—folks like David Milch (Deadwood), John August (Big Fish), Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), Erik Bork (Band of Brothers), Anthony Zuiker (creator of CSI), James Manos Jr. (Dexter, The Sopranos), Ellen Sandler (Everybody Loves Raymond), and John Cleese. Thousands of professional and aspiring writers, agents, producers, and execs come from around the world to listen, learn, and network.
You can also pitch your own concepts at the Golden Pitch Festival, which features 100 production companies, agencies, and management companies eager to hear your ideas. Last year's Festival included CAA, BenderSpink, Lionsgate, Mosaic, Mad Chance, Morgan Creek, DreamWorks, Fox Searchlight, Imagine, Scott Free, Relativity Media, Village Roadshow, UTA, The Gersh Agency, Yari Media Group, Walden Media, and Warner Brothers… and a host of others.
The Expo is for anyone interested in writing for TV or film, a TREMENDOUS opportunity. Here's all the info on my classes, and the conference itself… hope to see you all there!
