Anatomy of a script

March 2, 2012 Education, WGA

Robin Schiff and Winnie Holzman’s great discussion series “Anatomy of a Script” is starting up again in March, and highly recommended for film and TV writers wanting to learn more about the craft.

Each session starts with a screening of the film or TV episode, followed by a discussion with the writer. I did one last year for Big Fish, and really enjoyed the questions from such a smart audience.

The guests this year look great:

March 13: Mike White on Enlightened

March 21: Russell Gewirtz on Inside Man

March 28: Alex Gansa & Howard Gordon on Homeland

April 4: Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King on The Comeback

April 11: Mike Mills on Beginners

April 18: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck on The Lives of Others

You can buy tickets for individual sessions, or the whole series. Proceeds benefit the Writers Guild Foundation.
