I received this email recently and thought I would pass it on. This is another good reason to live in Los Angeles if you’re serious about screenwriting, as these sorts of events are quite common.
Another AWG free meeting is coming up this Saturday, September 8th, and it’s going to be even more exhilarating than ever. Besides the usual atmosphere of being surrounded by other creative and inspiring minds, we also have some industry veteran guest speakers lined up you won’t want to miss.
