Last Call of the Fall

Workshop and Senior Project Sections will not have a group meeting before the end of the term.

This does not affect deadlines in any way, so for some of you, the first half of your script is due on or before Friday, and for the rest, your final polish draft is due.

We will reconvene, and new members will join and pitch, during the first week of classes after the holiday. I will send out a scheduling e-mail towards the end of the holidays.

In the meantime, if anyone wants or needs to talk to me before the break, I'll be in my office Thursday morning from 10-1 this week.

Over the term break, you must keep your momentum going and continue writing, so that you can meet the deadline for first drafts, which is the end of the second week of the winter term. Also, remember that your blogs count for a portion of your grade, so you should be investing some of your creative energies in that direction.

As always, if you have any questions, e-mail me or your individual instructors immediately.

Video Games Anyone?

You should be aware that the term "screenwriting" is a catch-all phrase and applies to alot of different things in our media-saturated world. Some of you have an interest in video games and may wonder what it's like to write for them. If you seriously want to find out... DIGM is looking for a screenwriter for their Game Development Workshop II class.

If you're interested, please contact Paul Diefenbach.

WestPhest!

Come out and support your friends. See who takes home the cash prizes at this year's WestPhest Student Film Festival. Sunday Afternoon, with a pre-reception at Savas on Lancaster Ave. Tickets are available everywhere!

Deadlines Loom

This is the part of the term where things start to get interesting; you've got final projects bearing down in other classes, all the reading and work is starting to back up, and everyone is getting burned out. It's important to keep your wits about you and remember to meet your workshop deadlines. Coincidentally, I think there's one this Friday.

Friday Meeting Location

This Friday's Workshop/Sr. Project meeting @ 11 AM will be held in the Large Screening Room, UCross #028.
