FUCKING PINCH ME!!!

Warren was here for a couple of hours yesterday. We sat down to work and he pulled out his stack of yellow file cards. He had one for each scene in the screenplay; each bore a title and purpose and he had re-arranged my order of the scenes.

It was truly humbling to see so profoundly talented a man so engrossed by my story and so incredibly invested in it. He knows what we are doing and how to do it better than I do. He sees the structure of the story and knows the language of film.

We had a great session that will serve for a model for future sessions and we will meet regularly—perhaps twice a week—to move through my first draft to our first draft BECAUSE God sent me a message last night. Here are God’s words:

Canadian screenwriters are invited to apply to the WFF Praxis Screenwriters Lab, an intense five day workship presented by the Whistler Film Festival and Praxis Centre for Screenwriters.The program will be held from December 1 to 5, 2014 during the Whistler Film Festival + Summit.

Designed to advance Canadian creative talent, the WFF Praxis Screenwriters Lab focuses on strengthening feature length scripts by facilitating feedback and mentorship from veteran screenwriters and story editors.

Up to 8 screenwriters will be invited to participate in the 2014 Screenwriters Lab.

The benefits:

·      Writers receive targeted feedback on the screenplay with the guidance of a carefully selected Creative Advisor

·      Writers participate in individual and group meetings with the Producer-in-Residence

·      Writers receive an industry pass to the Whistler Film Festival, having the opportunity to network and connect with other industry professionals

·      Writers leave the workshop having charted a course for a rewrite and further development
