While screenwriting requires a command of the same fictional elements that our GLVWG fiction writers study--character motivation, rising conflict, and dialogue among them--it also requires considerations unique to the film industry. If you have an interest in writing for film or television, join this special interest group to critique and discuss scripts as well as share other common screenwriting concerns and interests.

In December 2005, this small group of GLVWG members met with Lehigh Valley film maker Zeke Zelker, about whom screenwriting committee chair Bill Hartin wrote:

His energy was double espresso, and his warmth and charm belied his recent acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival for "Loggerheads". We found Zeke approachable and encouraging but reality based. As he left (nearly two hours after his absolute, drop-dead departure time) he admonished us to write, write, write, and then write some more -- for the rest of our lives.

Bill Hartin's Screenwriting Group will meet on Monday, 2/29 at 7:00 p.m. at Tracy's Cafe in Easton, corner of Cattell and Monroe. The cafe is closed but the front door will be open for attendees.

Check back for updates on newly scheduled meetings. If you would like to join this group, contact Bill Hartin at hartinhouse@hotmail.com.
