Three days, three writers, a once in a lifetime experience: SYRFILMFEST Scriptwriting Workshop

Thursday, June 9, 2011, By KC Duggan

The Syracuse International Film Festival (SYRFILMFEST) announces its second annual Scriptwriting Workshop.  The workshop is hosted by Syracuse University alumnus Rob Edwards, writer of “Treasure Planet” and the Academy Award-nominated “The Princess and the Frog.”  

Dani Menkin, writer and director of “39 Pounds of Love,” and Gil Kofman, screenwriter for “The Memory Thief” will also join the three-day intensive workshop.  

The Scriptwriting Workshop will take place Oct. 12-14, and is open to students and adult writers, both amateur and professional.  Each participant needs to come with the completed draft of an original, short script that will be the source material used during the three-day workshop. 

Currently, workshop space is limited and registrants are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Contact SYRFILMFEST for more information and registration details at 315-443-8826, or leo@syrfilm.com.
