Screenwriting Tribe 7-9 p.m. Aug. 2nd

Mon, Aug 3, 2:00 AM

From Screenwriting Tribe

4.9

**FIRST WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE IS FREE.** Bring a friend. **After 1st visit: Donation only.** Collected during workshop. QR codes to Venmo and PayPal provided, Or cash. The aim is to cover the expenses of the workshop. It's not set up to be a money-making venture. **TO WORKSHOP PAGES** OF YOUR SCREENPLAY: YOU 👉MUST👈🏼 HAVE AN RSVP 👉AND👈🏼 WRITE "PAGES" AS A COMMENT HERE ON THIS EVENT PAGE. Read details below... We meet in the community room of the HULU building/Colorado Center, **2500 Broadway, Santa Monica** CA 90404. **First floor.** **Short walkway to glass door right near street (by "HULU" sign next to sidewalk)**. **• Tribe consists of writers and some actors helping writers to sharpen their screenplays, and their skills in the craft.** • A diversity of ages, life experiences, and voices, are helpful to have in the workshop. Ages 16 and over. • Maintain your RSVP status. If you RSVP, but can't attend: • Please, cancel your RSVP ASAP. You do so on this MeetUp page. It prevents writers from spending money to make copies of their script pages for you. • To sign up for having your script pages read by and get feedback from the group: • First RSVP to sign up for pages. • If you sign up for pages, and change your mind: DELETE your pages comment AND leave a post "Canceling pages." This gives another writer time to prepare pages. **• Canceling pages does not cancel your RSVP.** If you ARE NOT going to attend, please: ALSO cancel your RSVP. **• BEFORE you sign up for pages: A, B, C, D...** A • **Know you need to bring sets of pages for those who attend so they can both read and write notes on them.** B • **OWN and study the books:** 1. **Screenplay Repair Manual** by Daniel John Carey 2. **The Screenwriter's Bible** by David Trottier 3. **Dr. Format Tells All** by David Trottier C • **Have an RSVP** D • **Be one of the first 4 to sign up for pages.** **• We workshop feature and short film screenplays, and episodic, anthology, limited/mini series, serial series, and single cam sitcom screenplays, and also multi-cam sitcom scripts.** (We previously didn't workshop multi-cam scripts. Writers may want to consider that multi-cam sitcoms are not as popular as they were ten or more years ago. This makes getting a sitcom produced even less likely - unless you are an established sit-com writer, or an established stand-up comic. But maybe you will be the person who is successful in getting a new sitcom produced.) **• WE DO NOT WORKSHOP SOAP OPERA, MUSICAL, NC-17, OR X SCRIPTS.** **• Please format scripts in industry-standard 12 point Courier font**. **• Take one script through the workshop at a time 👉from the first page to "The End."👈🏽** **• Own the material in the script.** No plagiarism. The script has to be something you can copyright. (No lyrics, poetry, book excerpts, life stories, or other material to which you do not own the rights. For instance: don't use Beatles song lyrics in your script.) **• The workshop is as good as the participants make it.** **Aim to write engaging scripts with broad market, investor & distributor appeal, and that may advance the careers of actors, directors, DPs, editors, and you.** **👉A screenplay is an investment proposal for film financiers.👈🏼** **To sign up for pages: 1, 2, 3.** 1. **RSVP.** 2. **After RSVPing, type “pages” in the comments section.** **Bring enough copies of your script pages for everyone who has RSVPd.** (Closest Staples copy center location is on Bundy just north of Olympic open to 6 p.m. You can print from your laptop - the attendant can tell you how. Make sure the copy machine is set to black and white, and NOT color - so you aren't paying three times as much for color copies when all you need is B&W. You can also ask the attendant to make sure it is the thinner paper, and not the heavier paper that costs more). Also, print double sided copies to save $ and paper. **We write feedback directly on the pages, and also give verbal feedback.** **Be prepared to assign your character dialogue to be read out loud by various people in attendance, and assign one person to be the narrator of the scene headings and description.** **We give verbal feedback after each set of pages.** **As a writer receives feedback, they are to be silent, even if asked questions. Listen. Take notes.** Feedback you consider "wrong" could instead be helpful in giving you some excellent ideas. Welcome it. Even if you then do the direct opposite in your script revision. **Sometimes attend when your pages aren't being read.** This will build your skills in unexpected ways. Participate in helping other writers with their scripts. **👉Please stay for the entire workshop.👈🏼** **If you are not of the first 4 signing up for pages,** you can type **"backup pages"** as a comment – in case anyone cancels pages. **After you workshop 13 pages** (or the entire episode of a multi-cam) – **before you bring in the next pages – READ THE ENTIRE SCRIPT to give it a wave of polish.** **If you only have a few pages remaining unworkshopped,** still bring in 13 pages of the script = the remaining pages + pages before it = re-workshopping some of the previous pages. **Each script is the intellectual property of the writer.** **“If you’re not early, you’re late.”** – John Ritter
