Summary: Novels and memoirs are often described as cinematic, but the truth is that writing for film and television is quite different than writing prose. This panel discussion will focus on how screenplays and scripts are written: How they begin, what makes them work, how to know when they're finished, and how they become stories you watch on the screen, big or small. For this topic, WLT Program Director Michael Noll spoke with experts Jill Chamberlain (founding director of the Screenplay Workshop), Matt Dy (Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition Director, Joe Gross (culture writer for the Austin-American Statesman), & Maya Perez (screenwriter & producer for the Emmy-winning On Story).
