Aloha!
Last year, I attended Zel Bothic’s Basic Screenwriting Workshop at the Artist’s Village in Detroit. This year, I returned for his Intermediate Screenwriting Workshop.
Zel shares a LOT of valuable information that could only be known by someone who has lived and worked in Hollywood.
I especially appreciated Zel’s insights into “how Hollywood works” and his anecdotal stories about working on films with directors and producers in Los Angeles and New York.
But, my favorite stories were the ones about Zel’s experiences with director Spike Lee (yeah, Spike!) on his earliers films, i.e. SCHOOL DAZE, MALCOLM X (my favorite film of all time), GET ON THE BUS and SUMMER OF SAM.
I have found that a knowledge of SCREENWRITING is helping me to improve my video shooting and editing techniques.
If you think you might like to write a movie script or convert a book into a movie or if you are just curious about how it’s all done, then don’t miss the “Essence of Motown Literary Jam (yeah, Sylvia Hubbard!) – Learn How To Write A Screenplay with Zel Bothic” workshop!
forward!
