SUMMARY:Approaching The Rewrite (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nI’ve used the word “approaching” because approaching a rewrite is something to be taken seriously, like approaching a wild animal. You never know what’s going to hap- pen. A serious confrontation might occur. Or, everything could be just fine. Or some- thing in between.\nNo one would approach a wild animal without training and proper equipment, not to mention a little coaching and maybe some help. In this talk, I hope to provide you with the tools you will need when you finally get up the nerve to confront your script. I’ll give you a procedure that’s been good for me and the thousands of writers I’ve worked with. We’ll even take a little time, just a little, to write a few things during the talk to jump start your process. By the end of the 90 minutes, I hope you will have a plan to tackle the beast.\nThis is a talk for experienced television and screenwriters as well as newbies. Though it helps to have completed a screenplay beforehand, you’ll find that this way of organiz- ing a rewrite will help you get started on a script as well. We will be reviewing struc- ture, conflict, action writing, dialogue, cuts, presentation and more. Bring paper (re- member paper?) and a pen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPaul Chitlik has written for all the major networks and studios in English and in Spanish.
