Guide To Screenplay Structure
March 23, 2013
Event Date: Saturday, March 23, 2013 || Speaker: Matt Lohr || Check-in: 12:30 pm ||
Matt R. Lohr – On Screenwriting the Dan O’Bannon Way. The late Dan O’Bannon gave us some of the greatest genre films of all time, including ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. O’Bannon wrote these masterworks using a self-created system he called ‘dynamic structure.’ Matt R. Lohr, co-author of Dan’s posthumously published book DAN O’BANNON’S GUIDE TO SCREENPLAY STRUCTURE, presents an inside look at the system Dan used in his own work, along with methods for applying these ideas to your own scripts and a hands-on analysis of a major contemporary film using Dan’s system.”
Check-in begins at 12:30 pm.
Event starts at 1:00 pm.
No Refunds. No Credits.
