WRITING MOVIES THAT MATTER: Finding and Expressing Your Theme
Sponsored by Humanitas Prize and Write Brothers Inc.

Theme is one of the hardest elements to incorporate into a screenplay. Our one-day mini-conference can help you overcome this difficulty. Some of the top writers working today will discuss theme and its relation to story.

Breakout groups will allow participants to examine the structure of specific films in small groups with an experienced writer or screenwriting professor as leader. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the best. A must for beginning and mid-level writers alike.

Speakers confirmed* to date: Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash); Winnie Holzman (TV  My So-Called Life, Once and Again); Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry, Stop Loss); Robert Nelson Jacobs (Chocolat, Waterhorse: Legend of the Deep); Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost, The Last Mimzy); Robin Schiff (TV  Ten Things I Hate About You); Tom Schulman (Dead Poets Society); Robin Swicord (Little Women, The Jane Austen Book Club); Dan Jinks (Producer -- American Beauty, Big Fish, Milk etc.) Jane Anderson (It Could Happen to You, The Baby Dance, Normal, The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio) Billy Ray (Shattered Glass, Breach, State of Play) James Uhls (Fight Club, Jumper); Nick Kazan (Frances, Reversal of Fortune, Fallen, Bicentennial Man); Albert Berger (producer - Election, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Children); Nathan Kahane (producer - Juno, Stranger Than Fiction); AND MORE TO COME
