JUMP ON THIS CHANCE—A while back when covering the Academy Awards for
the late great Hollywood Citizen News, I
shot a question to director Francis Ford Coppola from the crowd of other back
stage reporters as to what was his favorite Godfather
scene. His response was something
like the second I saw the finished screenplay.
It drew laughs.
His point then and the
point now is simply without a screenplay, movies don’t get made. Filmmaker dreams don’t come true without a
script.
If you’ve yearned to write a
screenplay or being part of a film this Saturday there will be a free one day event at San Diego
City College that just might kick start your dream.
Called “Script to Screen, the San Diego Indie Scene 2013”, the program is
a symposium of film industry pros, who will be discussing scriptwriting,
producing, directing, casting, pre-production, permits, locations and
logistics, shooting, editing, promotion, distribution and festivals.
The event presented in
cooperation with the SDCC radio,TV and film department will be held Saturday,
April 27, 10 am to 6 pm at Saville Theater (14th & C Street).
