NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS

From April 19, 2025:

Hi Screenline Friends,

Welcome to April!!  We had a good meeting last March with a good crew to read a new work from Michael.   It was a good start to a full length feature film, and we are all looking forward to reading the next act.

Most everyone at our March meeting wanted to continue to hold meetings on Sunday (Evening traffic and getting away from work make Mondays problematic).  So for April, I moved the meeting date to Sunday, April 27 at 2:00pm (your welcome Martha), and Calvin offered to host at the Farrison-Newton Communication Building (Room 285) in Durham.  I've updated the Screenline Directions page to show how to get there, and I've also updated our Screenline calendar for the coming year, picking the 4th Sunday of every month (except 4th Sunday in May which is Memorial Day weekend).  We can finalize meeting locations for future months at the April meeting.

The current committed people to bring "something to read" every month is as follows (let me know if I need to adjust):
  • April - Calvin
  • May - Tim? - Anybody else?
  • June - Going to a movie at the theatre together - Dave to provide options
    • Or maybe watching "Catching Dust" (on Amazon) by our new Screenline friend, Mark David.
The 2025 Cary Film Festival has announced its scheduled (Sept. 11-14) and opened its screenplay competition for 2025 and has the following submission dates:
  • Early date - March 15
  • Final date - May 17
If you are interested  in any screenplay competitions that are coming up in 2025, I would recommend checking contest listings on MovieBytes.com and FilmFreeway.  You can sign up on Film Freeway to get e-mails about upcoming contests.

If anyone else has any screenwriting news updates, please let me know and I'll post them here.

That’s a wrap for now.  See you at Screenline on Sunday, April 27!!

John (Filling in for our illustrious leader, Mike)

P.S. If you have news or information you’d like to share, send it to me at writersinbox@yahoo.com and I will get it posted to the web site. 

Next Meeting

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 2:00pm ET at the Farrison-Newton Communication Building at NCCU
