Jeff Kitchen, a screenwriting teacher who has given presentations at the Screenwriting Expo, and whose book I bought, recently sent out an email inviting people to attend some seminars of his for free. The seminars are being taped for a DVD set, and he needs audience members. The following update email came yesterday, and only then did it occur to me (dolt that I am) that LA people in this group might be interested in attending. Of course it's too late for the April 28th date mentioned, but there are tapings tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday.
I recommend his methods of structuring and plotting a screenplay. They're fairly involved, but they're quite interesting different from most other teachers out there. This is a chance to give him a listen for free. Gene

This is part of the Expo's DVD series. They called back a bunch of folks who did classes last year and asked us to recreate the classes for DVD... and that meant we'd need an audience.

I passed on this - I'm going to eventually do my own DVDs. CS is paying a small % to the teacher for each DVD sold - and keeping the rest.

Bill Martell sells scripts and gets them made. I've sold plenty of scripts and books and novels and have had lots of things made and published. Like you'd know - about much of anything.
