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](http://wgfoundation.org/aos.aspx) 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](http://wgfoundation.org/aos.aspx) for individual sessions, or the whole series. Proceeds benefit the Writers Guild Foundation.
