Free Screenwriting Seminars!

Hi future MDS'ers:

Below is a post I received from Creative Screenwriting about free seminars! The only catch is that you have to be in the LA area since that's where they are taking place.

Check it out. I know one of the lecturers personally and he gives a lot of information and is very personable and can really help you develop your projects and to get that for free is even better. I had to pay for the seminar I took with him but it was well worth it.

Enjoy,
N.

Comp Seminars for Screenwriters in Los Angeles (ONLY)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creative Screenwriting magazine will be videotaping 30 of the most popular seminars from the Screenwriting Expo over the next two weeks and you're invited.


The seminars will take place on a sound stage in downtown Los Angeles. You will need transportation by car to get to the sound stage.


There are two sessions (morning and afternoon) each day and attendance is limited to 100. You can sign up for multiple sessions and multiple days, but PLEASE DON'T SIGN UP for a session you can't attend.


Your attendance is complimentary (no charge).


Morning Session: 7:45 AM to 1:30 PM

Afternoon Session: 2:15 PM to 7 PM

There will be a 1-hour lunch break at approximately 1:30 PM. Lunch is NOT included, but sodas and water will be available.


You must be prompt, or you won't be allowed to enter the stage.


Release Form: You will need to sign a release form allowing us to videotape you when you arrive at the stage in order to become an audience member. There will be some down time while cameras are loaded/moved and new shots are set up. So please plan on being patient during the shooting of the DVDs. The information these speakers impart is worth the wait.
