Gordy Hoffman, the Sundance award-winning writer/director (LOVE LIZA, A COAT OF SNOW) and founder of the Blue Cat Screenplay Competition, will lead a screenwriting workshop from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m on Saturday, June 2 (SOLD OUT) and 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Sunday, June 3.
THE FULL SCRIPT WORKSHOP
Participants read seven screenplays in advance of the workshop. Screenplays can be first drafts or rewrites, with first time writers and veterans all welcome. During the workshop, Gordy provides direct and in-depth feedback on each screenplay, with everyone encouraged to contribute his or her own thoughts and concerns.
Each writer will leave with great sense of what they can do specifically to improve their screenplay, as well a better awareness of where they might properly develop as a professional screenwriter as a whole. Not only do you learn from the focus placed on your screenplay by the workshop, but also by the examination of the six other scripts of the day.
Gordy will provide brief written notes to each writer after the workshop.
