I’ll be part of three panels at this year’s Austin Film Festival, including a special session on Big Fish.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21st
The Business of Screenwriting
with Edward Burns, Franklin Leonard, Craig Mazin
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
Film and Food Gala
Driskill Hotel
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.
