We've got some Awesome meetings coming up in November + December! 🥊 November 4: ROCKY! Why the Writing Works Why do we keep rooting for Rocky Balboa? We'll break down all six Rocky movies, exploring character development, story structure, antagonists, and why these movies work so well (except Rocky V!). We'll also discuss what screenwriters can learn from them! (If you can't tell, I'm excited for "I Play Rocky") 🎬 November 5, 12, 19 & December 3, 10: Get Your Movie Out There! These are 2-hour working sessions dedicated to marketing your screenplays and projects! We'll spend the first 10 minutes sharing goals, the next 100 minutes researching and contacting producers, agents, managers, and other industry professionals, and the final 10 minutes sharing our progress. 🎄 November 11: Write a Christmas Movie in 6 Weeks! Kickoff Whether you're writing a brand-new Christmas movie or rewriting an existing screenplay, join us as we kick off our six-week challenge!

We'll have a Holiday Break after December 10, so let's make these next six weeks count! Let's write some great scripts, finish what we start, and get our movies out there!!! 🎬🎬🎬

Made some updates to this class in the classroom section. Also, is anyone interested in doing the Write a Christmas Movie in 6 Weeks challenge? That we did last year. I don't think I can commit to it this year as I did last year (focusing a lot on my comedy series, Aaron and Abby), but I'm just seeing if anyone is interested.

Just mentioned this in the last meeting, but here's a collection of shorts I made about movie monsters in marriage therapy. It took us about 2 - 3 hours to film each of these and they're all the same location so it was pretty easy.

Old and New! Go!

In a few hours, we have 🎭 Pages Due: Script Reading Workshop. Bring 2- 10 new pages and hear your work come to life! Everyone who attends must bring pages and participate by reading roles in other writers' scripts. Please attach your PDF below so everyone has it. :)
