Screenwriters World Conference 2014




 
Hello,
Not many weekends offer an opportunity like this one and I want to make sure you know about it. I'd like to encourage you to make the most of these next few days by getting your work in front of a remarkable roster of Hollywood's decision-makers.The Screenwriters World Conference-which begins today in Los Angeles-serves as your introduction to the people who can make things happen in your career. And there are plenty of built-in opportunities to network all weekend long, including the event's signature Pitch Slam.

Plus, when you register for the Pitch Slam, you're guaranteed inclusion in the Pitch Slam Logline Directory. Your name, contact information, logline and details about your script will be sent to every agent and exec in attendance for review after the event. Not only is it your chance to preserve your pitch in the exact way you'd like it remembered, it's also a great reminder for those agents who heard something they liked, but perhaps forgot to secure your contact info.

No other screenwriting event offers a benefit like this one to its attendees.

So if you'd like to be here tomorrow pitching directly to more than 80 top agents and execs, you have two options:
  • Register onsite tomorrow for either the Gold or Gold Pro Pass and not only take advantage of hours of invaluable education this weekend, but also snag a ticket to tomorrow's Pitch Slam.
  • Or, if you'd like to come solely to pitch, you can now register for the newPitch Slam-Only Pass and enjoy entry into each Pitch Slam session tomorrow, plus the evening's Cocktail Networking Reception.
Ready to move your career forward by leaps and bounds? Registration opens onsite beginning at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Make your way to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, located at 2025 Avenue of the Stars. You'll find us waiting for you in the California Level, two floors down from the lobby.

Breaking up Your Story into Beats

  What scenes or story beats do you need to tell this story? You’ll add what you need to the basic framework you already have in your premises. Let’s work from the Jackie Chan Adventures premises we have so you can see how it’s done.   Basic structure of Jackie Chan Adventures: “Queen of the Shadowkhan”  Premise: •Jade, as one of the main characters, is the star of this episode. Her character fl aw is her need for peer acceptance/respect. This fl aw motivates a whole chain of problems for everyone around her. •We go to the end to see what, if anything, she learned. She learns not to succumb to peer pressure, and she realizes that indeed she did not succumb to Shendu’s pressure. (Theme: Respect earned from someone you admire is better than respect from all others!) •Jade’s initial goal is to be cool (have a tattoo) and gain respect. That snowballs as she begins to abuse the respect she gets from the ninjas. •Shendu is the villain who uses Jade in an attempt to destroy Ja...

Three Acts

  “Leaves of three, let them be.” A helpful little phrase when it comes to avoiding poison oak in the woods, but when it comes to your  screenplay , three absolutely is company. This is the core of screenwriting.  Three Act Structure is your framework and the almighty epoxy of  the screenplay . These three parts, often literally taking place in different worlds – physically and/or figuratively – can work independently of each other, yet when connected, they build a solid whole.

Q&A – Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (Bob Stookey)

  Actor Lawrence Gilliard Jr., who plays Bob Stookey on AMC’s  The Walking Dead,  talks about his apocalypse-ready clarinet skills and how his character from  The Wire would react to zombies. Q: You’ve been in a lot of crime-centric shows. Were you excited to do something different on The Walking Dead ? A: Yeah absolutely. You get to play and have more fun and be more creative when you’re doing a show like this. Killing zombies — that’s what you do as a kid! Now I get to do it as a grownup. I definitely looked forward to the change and I’m having fun. Q: Your character is a medic. Do you have any skills that would be useful in the apocalypse? A: I play clarinet. I also play the drums, so I could keep the spirits lively and entertain everyone. That’s all I could do. Q: Bob is a pretty good shot. Did you do any weapons training for the role? A: None so far. When I was young, I learned to shoot, so I don’t really need any training for that. Q: You’ve...
