Somebody’s Got To Write It First
Have you ever watched a bad movie and walked away thinking you could have done a better job? A panel from the Bay Area Silicon Valley Screenwriters will talk about individual experiences, resources useful in learning the craft, how to give and receive critiques, networking, along with pitching and marketing your work effectively. There will also be time held for Q&A.
The Silicon Valley Screenwriters have been meeting monthly since 2001. While individual experience can vary, the commitment to screenwriting is consistent. Our mission is to provide support and a safe atmosphere in which to learn and become successful in the craft of screenwriting. |
