A quick reminder…

Just a quick reminder that there are a few spaces left in the upcoming Crescent workshops:

Hollywood Screenwriting: Jumping The First Hurdle *
with James Bartlett
Monday  16th March   3.00pm – 5.00pm   £12.00/£10.00
(places limited so please book early to avoid disappointment)
In Hollywood, thousands of scripts land on the desks of producers, agents, actors and studio executives every day – how can you make sure that yours makes it past the first hurdle? This lecture and workshop will discuss some of the simple but fatal “red flag” mistakes that screenwriters make – and how to avoid them. There will also be discussion about the differences between Hollywood and the UK/Ireland film industry, and, time permitting, group discussion of your own script/story ideas in a Hollywood style pitch session.

James Bartlett is a writer and journalist living in Los Angeles and also works for Sundance, National Geographic Films, New Regency, UCLA and the Academy of Motion Pictures’ Nicholl Screenwriting Awards. Having worked in film production, music licensing and ARISTA Development he moved to Los Angeles in 2004
