Do you have a story you’d like to see on the silver screen? Do you watch movies and think “I could have written this better”? The Garland County Library will help aspiring Charlie Kaufmanns and Billy Bob Thorntons achieve their goals with a Screenwriting Fundamentals Seminar conducted by Ben Fry on Saturday, May 28th from 10 am til noon.
Ben Fry is the General Manager of KLRE/KUAR Public Radio in Little Rock, Ark. He also serves as the coordinator of the film minor for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s School of Mass Communication. He has taught film courses at UALR since 1999, including a course in screenwriting, which he introduced in 2003. In 2007, Fry received a grant to develop an online film minor at UALR.
“This session will be an overview of the screenwriting process, examining the similarities and differences in writing for the screen and other types of creative writing,” Fry said. “Screen writing is more difficult than a lot of people think. Even great writers of other types of material have problems with writing for the screen. Hopefully, I can give some tips to help people get started.”
Event is free, but registration is required. Call 623-4161 or 922-4483 to reserve a seat.
