The Screenwriter Group, one of the nation’s largest screenwriting schools, added John Burch of Writers Boot Camp as the director of operations in LA.
Burch brings years of entertainment industry experience, including Fox Broadcasting and Fox Searchlab.
Dan Decker, founder of the Screenwriter Group, and Burch will host a free screenwriting seminar on Tuesday, Aug. 26, for professional and amateur screenwriters looking to develop their skills.
The Screenwriter Group classes focus on the art of developing a successful screenplay from a synopsis, to a full treatment, to a script.
Students will learn how to create characters that drive the plot of their movie, receive two professional critiques and get the opportunity to rewrite their storyline.
“The Screenwriters Group got me from an idea, to a script, to a sale. The company that bought my script was so impressed, they hired me to write another,” said Alan Anderson, screenwriter of “Thin Ice” and “Soiled Out.”
Since 1993, the Screenwriters Group has been recognized as an award winning screenwriting school. In partnership with the Screenwriters Group are Stylus Management and Argyle Pictures, script management and production companies.
The seminar will take place from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 5828 Wilshire Blvd. Seating at the seminar is limited. For reservations or more information call (886) 665-8500.
