Anatomy of a script series

February 1, 2011 Education, News, WGA

Each year, the Writers Guild Foundation holds a series of discussions with film and television writers focusing on one of their past or current projects. This year, I’ll be a guest, talking about Big Fish.

The lineup for the series looks great:

__Tuesday February 22:__ Debra Granik on Winter’s Bone (screening at 5:15 pm)

__Wednesday March 2:__ Glenn Gordon Caron on Medium (screening at 6:10 pm)

__Wednesday March 9:__ Steve Levitan on Modern Family (screening at 6:30 pm)

__March 16:__ John August on Big Fish (screening at 5:00 pm)

__March 23:__ Marta Kauffman & David Crane on Friends (screening at 6:30 pm)

__March 30:__ Mike Werb & Michael Colleary on Face/Off (screening at 4:45 pm)

Winnie Holzman (Wicked, My So-Called Life) and Robin Schiff (Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion) are hosting.

It’s a pretty small room, and the event always sells out. So if you’re interested, you may want to [get tickets now](https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/155452).
