NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
From January 12, 2025:
Hi Screenline Friends,
We had a nice get together at Trali's yesterday, and it was good to catch up with everyone after the holidays. Sorry we missed the "mystery caller" and Calvin in syllabus "hell".
I was planning another "working" meeting in January for Monday, January 26 at 7pm at Panera Bread off Lake Boone Trail. Per Eric's excellent suggestion, everyone should bring 2-3 loglines of script ideas they want to write. We can vote on the best one, and that person will win a free Panera "treat" of their choice.
In other chatter heard around the table, young Mike mentioned a campus film festival at NC State which will be going on at the end of the Spring Semester/late April that he promised to share with the group. That might be a good "outing" for our group. (If anyone has other good "outing" ideas, let me know and I can share it with the group).
For the coming year, I have the following scheduled planned which I will try to stick to (locations and dates):
I'll also remind everyone about Jim McQuade's other local Screenwriter's group, the Triangle's Filmmaking Community Screenwriters Group (https://trianglefilmmaking.com/tfc-screenwriters-group/) which meets regularly on Zoom on Tuesday nights (I believe it is the 3rd Tuesday). I'm sharing this with everyone as an alternative to our group and a chance to meet with other screenwriters and filmmakers in the area.
If anyone else has any other screenwriting news updates, please let me know and I'll post them here.
That’s a wrap for now. Have a good week and we'll see everyone on Monday, January 26!!
John (Filling in for our illustrious leader, Mike)
