So you'd like to be a screenwriter, or a filmmaker? Let's look at how the entertainment industry has worked for the past few decades and what may change in coming years and what that means for your prospects. As futurist, Thomas Frey, Founder of The DaVinci Institute in Louisville, likes to point out "chaos" leads to "opportunity," especially to those who are paying attention. I'll be sharing my point of view, and give you some pointers about where to begin your brilliant entertainment career.
We'll cover:
what the "essential craft" of screenwriting is and is not
what a screenwriter's career looks like in Hollywood and beyond
thoughts about upcoming opportunities
next steps to take in a creative career
It's an exciting time of great change and I'm pleased share my observations with those brave souls who are ready and willing to share their own points of view on the silver screen!
