LA Screenwriting Expo
Everyone else gets a conference trade-show, why not screenwriters...?
Screenwriting Expo-6 is on again this October - 24th- 28th - with quite an array of guest speakers including William Goldman and Steve Zallian. And for comic relief, if nothing else, yours truly will also be in attendence delivering several presentations looking at :
New Approaches to Writing from Script to Screen Presented by Celtx
Integrating processes of writing and screenplay development with Celtx.
For too long the writing of the screenplay has been divorced from the
development of ideas into cinematic vision. Now in the digital age we
are afforded enormous opportunities to embrace tools that allow for an
holistic approach to developing a movie project from concept, character
and script - through to pre-visualization, storyboarding and
production. Celtx is just such a tool. Open source and free, Celtx
brings together comprehensive screenwriting, character and plot
development tools with storyboarding,break-down and production
management systems. This presentation will demonstrate Celtx and
explore the new approaches to building a screenplay made possible by
its powerful feature set.
Sounds like fun hey? More than just showing the flexible and holistic approach of Celtx the presentations are really about re-thinking some of the long held paradigms of what we think screenwriting is and looking to a more inclusive an integrated methodolgy for the digital age; one that embraces all the myraid of posisbilities.
You can read about the sessions here and if you are from the LA area (or are in town for the Expo) do come along and say hi.
