Willamette Writers Conference (Day 1)

I will be taking group and individual pitches and teaching the following class:

Living in an Indie World
Exploring the differences between Indie Film and the Studio World. Topics covered Include; The lonely life of an independent producer, the different types of companies and the differences between them, financing, options and attachments and how indies and studios differ, Scripts/Story–what makes a good indie film, what’s better suited for studios, packaging for indie vs studio, how to get your indie script noticed/networking in the indie world and how to do this from outside Hollywood, script contests for indie films, and what makes for an indie hit. There will also be a Q&A session.
