Film School Gumbo

I just finished up a three week screenwriting/directing intensive in Seattle and I’ll boil it all down into an informal report when I return. I encourage anyone interested in storytelling to come sponge up the residue. Sharing what I learned will give me a chance to cement some of my knowledge and pass it on to anyone else who might be interested. The informal lecture will take place on Tuesday, June 6th at 6:00pm.

Also if there are any film school students returning to Juneau who want to share their experience please contact me. Bryce? Patty?

Laters

I look forward to getting back to Juneau, hope you’re all well!

JUMP Society Roadshow in Portland!

Executive Summary:
JUMP Society Roadshow in Portland
Monday, April 24th 7:00pm
The Guild Theatre

The Long Version:

Track down everyone you know in Portland and tell them we’ll be there Monday night, April 24th with a traveling JUMP Society show! The screening will be at the Guild Theatre and should get started at approximately 7pmish.

Sadly, we’ve decided to break our tradition of free shows and charge a $5 admission at the door to help cover our travel costs. We’ll also accept short stories, sketches, or baked goods in lieu of cash. In fact that theatre has so many seats we’ll probably just let you in if you ask nice. It’s not art if people have to pay to see it right?
