The “Voice” Of The Writer

Event Date: Saturday, February 17, 2018 || Speaker: Pilar Alessandra || Check-in: 12:30 pm ||

Screenwriting instructor Pilar Alessandra uses pages from this year’s nominations for  “Best Screenplay” and “Best Adapted Screenplay” to help you discover your own original writing voice and see how you can apply it to pages.  She’ll focus on the tone, craft and personality of the page.  How do these writers get our attention? What is their unique point of view?  What words do they choose?  What story do they tell?    See more details below.

**The deadline has passed and REGISTRATION is now CLOSED for this event. Please view our calendar for upcoming events.
