    Greeting fellow DCFCPUG members and A-List Screenwriting guests:

    The weekend two day workshop, despite the rain and road closures from the Marine Corp Marathon, was well attended and we even had the treat of two professional actors stopping in to read lines for greater emphasis on character.

    Here is a picture of the class and the instructor reviewing a major film:

    After detailed review and script analysis, the screenwriters consider the alternatives presented by the master script consultant:

    Then the fun begins, the reading of the draft script to bring the scene alive for the class…

    If you are reading this and have a interest in joining us for the next class, drop me a line at rodney@dcfcpug.org

    We could not be there the second day of the workshop because we got caught in the traffic snarls created by the Marine Corp Marathon.  So after 3+ hours of sitting idle in freeway traffic (that looked more like a freeway parking lot), we cut our losses and drove back home so we could at least pull the raffle winners and post the winning names below and the winners need to email me (rodney@dcfcpug.org) with your mailing address so I can send your prize via mail!:




    Sonya Dunn – Montage – Professional Screenwriting For MacOSX -(1 copy)
    “Create, Write, and Submit Scripts for Film, TV, and Theater”  valued at $100 retail

    Sonya Dunn – Desktop Poet – “Fridge Poetry for your Mac” valued at $20 retail -(1 copy)

    Steven Barnvard – Desktop Poet - “Fridge Poetry for your Mac” valued at $20 retail -(1 copy)

    Have a great Halloween next week and don’t forget to sign up to a free membership at DCFCPUG.org and Jim’s free newsletters and scheduled appearances updates at A-ListScreenwriting.com
