Join award winning New Brunswick filmmaker Gretchen Kelbaugh in conversation with PEI Bootcamp's Louise LaLonde, award winning documentary writer/producer Ginette Pellerin, Dream Street Pictures' producer Tim Hogan, Telefilm Canada's Jamie Gaetz and awardwinning writer Tony Sekulich. All who have worked with screenwriters or have a body of work as screenwriters themselves.
Gretchen will ask the questions that writers too often don’t have the chance to ask: What opportunities are there to develop screenwriting skills? What can a writer do to improve the chances of their work being produced?
What do producers look for in a writer beyond just a good idea? Is it possible for a writer to apply for development $ to write a script? When should a writer link up with a producer? When should a writer work with a story editor? How do you get your script to a producer? Can a writer approach a Broadcaster with an idea? When should a writer pitch their idea? What elements should a writer bring with them to pitch their idea?
Come join us in this lively interactive discussion during the Silver Wave Film Festival in Fredericton. For more information please contact Pamela Lovelace, creativepam@gmail.com or visit www.wift-at.com
