What it Takes to Succeed as a Screenwriter Webcast: with Your Screenwriter's Safari Mentors Christopher Lockhart & Richard Botto

You are a screenwriter. The mere thought of typing FADE IN makes you feel alive (or scares you!). And, no matter where you are at - at the grocery store, in the car, in the shower - you hear voices in your head. Wait, that sounds wrong - you hear your characters voices in your head. That's better. You can't imagine a scenario without you pouring your thoughts onto the page. 

 

To be a working screenwriting in today's film, television and new media landscape you no longer can be just great at writing.

 

So, what else is there to it? 

 

You have to know the business.

 

No matter if you're an emerging screenwriter or a seasoned pro you can see that the business of writing is evolving and you need to be at the forefront of it. Take it from two of the most active executives from Hollywood.
