So excited for the Northern California Screenwriters and Filmmakers Expo this weekend. Great line up of industry peeps to learn from and network with:
On both Friday, March 26th and Saturday, 27th, there will be classes and presentations by oscar-winning screenwriter, Bobby Moresco (Crash, Million Dollar Baby); acting teacher and coach, Howard Fine (Fine on Acting); acting teacher and coach, Scott Sedita (The Eight Characters of Comedy), advertising genius, Tony Seiniger, (Star Wars, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, and over 1,500 iconic movies); and many other heavy-hitting industry insiders... including my good friend and mentor James Dalessandro, author of 1906: A Novel and screenwriter of 1906, which is being produced by Pixar.
And this is what I'm polishing my script and honing my pitch skills for - getting in front of those industry peeps!
On Sunday, March 28th, after a brief welcome speech by Napa’s Mayor, Jill Techel, there will be a pitch fest where attendees can pitch their scripts, projects, and headshots to Hollywood agents, producers, and studio executives.
In addition, at 4pm on Friday evening, March 26th, a wine-tasting event will be held where attendees can mingle, make connections, and sample fabulous Napa Valley wines. (Must be 21 to participate.)
Fingers crossed!!
