I’ll be part of three panels at this year’s Austin Film Festival, including a special session on Big Fish.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21st
1pm
The Business of Screenwriting
with Edward Burns, Franklin Leonard, Craig Mazin
2:45pm
Visual Storytelling
with John Lee Hancock, Randall Wallace, H.W. Brands
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22nd
8:30am
Book-to-Screen: “Big Fish”
If you’re planning on attending the Big Fish session, you’ll get a lot more out of it if you’ve already read both Daniel Wallace’s novel (you can find in on Amazon) and the screenplay (from the Library). I feel weird assigning homework, but trust me, you’ll have much better insight if you’re familiar with the book, script and movie.
I won’t have much time to meet-and-greet after these sessions — on Friday, I’ll be racing to the airport for a friend’s wedding. So if you’d like to say hi, your best bet is to track me down at one of the social events:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20th
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21st
Some of these are 21+, and the first one requires tickets beyond just a conference badge. If you’re a student, I know that can be a challenge. I’ll try to tweet my location if I have some downtime.
And if you see me at the Driskill — or in line at the burrito place — don’t be shy about saying hi.
