The Open Frame Film Festival at Malone University will hold an
INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER’S WORKSHOP on SCREENWRITING FOR THE SHORT FILM
on Tuesday, September 15th at 7:30 p.m. in the Silk Auditorium.
The workshop was created to help prepare student writers as they develop short films for the OPEN FRAME FILM FESTIVAL, but community members are welcome.
An expert panel of screenwriters, living locally, but whose work has garnered wide acclaim, will talk about the skills, habits and experiences of successful screenwriters. Beginning writers won’t want to miss the opportunity to hear from and meet screenwriters Connie Collins, Bo Bishop, and Candee Kramer. Dr. Andrew Rudd, also an award-winning screenwriter will moderate the panel.
Filmmaker Connie Collins has written and produced two short films, one of which played at the Cleveland Film Festival among other festivals. Connie has also written and produced two socially-conscious documentaries dealing with solutions for prostitution.
Bo Bishop graduated from Columbia University. Bo has written and directed a remarkable short film, Miles Wynberry of Glendale Lane. He has written multiple full length screenplays, too. His script Glass Factory Tours has garnered the attention of Hollywood producers.
Candee Kramer was a finalist in the Movie Deal Contest & a semifinalist in the Screenwriting Expo contest for short film scripts. A feature length script placed in the top 5% of the MORE Women in Film contest. She’ll be wrapping shooting on her first short film as a producer just days before she joins us for our workshop.
This event is FREE! But only 30 participants may participate in this hour-long workshop, so RSVP to Kerrie Fisher by phone (330.471.8201) or email (kfisher @ malone dot edu) ASAP. First come, first served.
