If you want to kick start your writing and would like to learn how to create truly 3 dimensional characters that will entice producers searching for great scripts, here is your opportunity…

Marilyn R. Atlas, film producer of HBO's Real Women Have Curves and the west coast theatrical
premiere of "God Bless You Mr. Rosewater," among her many credits, will be offering a workshop in Boston on Sunday, May 6th from 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. at 117 West Newton Street in the South End.

Ms. Atlas’s topics will include “Creating for the Actor: Carving Memorable, Inhabitable Characters” and “The Ever-Evolving Marketplace: What’s Hot, Why and for How Long...” She will also explore the adaptation of scripts to novelization and vice versa.

In addition to working in film, theater, and television, Ms. Atlas has sold (first time) novels Chasing the Jaguar to HarperCollins, Hungry Woman in Paris to Grand Central Publishing, and the Ave Maria Bed & Breakfast to Hachette Publishing. In addition, she is currently developing Real Women Have
Curves: the Musical, in partnership with a Broadway producer.
Ms. Atlas is a member of the National Association of Latino Independent Producers. She has spoken at their Writers’ and Producers’ retreats, the DGA-sponsored LA Asian Film Festival, as well as various other symposia for the Sherman Oaks Experimental College. She also teaches a course in creating indelible, 3-dimensional characters at USC every summer.
She is currently developing the feature Perfekt Kill and the cable movie Brides’ March for Lifetime Television, and a limited television series that she originally sold to Showtime.

Cost: just $40 including a gourmet pizza and salad dinner and limited to 15 participants - email Genine Tillotson at mlantern@aol.com to register or get more info

Hi everyone,
I have a screenplay ready to go, entire story based here in beautiful New England. It puts Worcester/Boston, Maine and several little towns in the spotlight. Fans of the book have described it as an Action/Adventure, thought provoking, adrenaline pumping sophisticated entertainment ride.
Great comments that humble me but I need vast improvement and looking forward to enjoying this site with everyone.
Please keep me informed of workshops and get togethers, I'll do my best to attend.
Hollywood East get ready, here are your writers!

Sure I'll help, Also I think it would be good to have a Screenwriting Workshop to help us new screenwriters know what were doing right and what were doing wrong, and also to make sure we know how to write a good synopsis, treatment, & loglines. As i have found out recently a screenplay it not just a script and an idea.
