Bill and Dean to Speak at Northwest Screenwriters Guild

Bill and Dean have been invited to speak at the Northwest Screenwriters Guild in Seattle, WA this coming weekend, Friday, May 30 and Saturday, May 31.

Friday’s event, Script to Screen: My First movie—a Conversation with Award-Winning Screenwriter Bill True, will be a candid conversation between NWSG President Aadip Desia and Bill as they talk about Bill’s debut feature, RUNAWAY, and his involvement from FADE IN to distribution.  A Q&A will follow the talk.

During the event, you’ll learn how he sold his script, stayed with the movie through production and distribution, and leveraged the experience to take his screenwriting career to the next level.

"The NWSG is fast becoming quite the force in the screenwriting world," says Bill.  "Not only has it helped foster numerous sold and optioned writers, but they’ve been nabbing topnotch writers, producers, and consultants right and left to speak at their events.  Dean and I are very excited and quite honored to have this invitation extended to us.  I think it's going to be a lot of fun."

The event is open to the general public. The event runs from 7:30 PM-9:30 PM at the Clear Channel Building, 351 Elliott Ave N., Seattle, WA. Doors open at 7:00 PM.

Seats can be reserved at www.nwsg.org.  Cost is $15 for the general public, $8 to members of NWSG partner organizations, and free to NWSG members.

In the afternoon, Dean and Bill will judge the debut NWSG pitch competition, which is open to all NWSG members.  The top two winners of the competition will receive either a copy of Movie Magic screenwriting software or a pass to the Great American Pitchfest, which is being held in Los Angeles on June 20-21. Each top prize is valued at $250.00
