JOHN AUGUST & SHANE BLACK to Appear at this year’s Expo!
We are working on
the guest list for what is shaping up to be one of our best lineups
ever. Every few weeks or so, we will announce more and more
Oscar-winning writers and directors who have agreed to join us this
year! First up are two veterans of the industry who have been popular
Expo Guests of Honor in the past.
JOHN AUGUST is the acclaimed writer of Tim Burton’s Big Fish and the indie hit Go. August has also collaborated with Burton on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the animated film Corpse Bride, and the 2011 Disney release Frankenweenie. August has also delved into action screenwriting by having a hand in both Charlie’s Angels films. His last project was the lauded film The Nines, on which he made his directorial debut.
SHANE BLACK is one of the highest paid screenwriters in film history, receiving large paychecks for his specs for The Long Kiss Goodnight ($4 million), The Last Boyscout ($1.75 million), and Last Action Hero ($1 million). He is also the mind behind the Lethal Weapon franchise, where he sold the script for the first installment at only age 23. He recently wrote and directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and is currently working on Lethal Weapon 5.
PLUS: More BIG names to be announced soon. But sign up now to take advantage of our low prices.

Seminars on Screenwriting – Most of Them Unique to This
Year!
Last year, the Expo played host to over 100 individual seminars on the
craft and business of screenwriting – and 60 of them were
brand new to 2009. Expect more diversity this year, as more new
seminars and new teachers will be joining our ranks. Even if
you’re an Expo veteran, there will be enough exciting new
classes for you to fill your schedule!
Trouble with dialogue…issues understand
themes…characterization…getting an
agent…funding your indie film…pitching
– how to do it and how to sell yourself…All of
these subjects are covered each year at the Expo. Plus, as usual, we
will play host to big A-list writers who will share their secrets
exclusively
with you.
Planning is still in the infant stage, so keep checking http://screenwritingexpo.com
for updates,
The 2010 Screenwriting Expo promises to be a unique and important event
in the lives of many aspiring writers. Don’t miss out and
join us at the LAX Hilton!
Travel
And Lodging Costs To The Expo Slashed -- But Luxury, Too?
The Hilton Hotel at Los Angeles Airport is the most luxurious hotel
which has ever hosted the Screenwriting Expo or been the main Expo host
hotel. So you would expect that it would be the most
expensive, right?
Wrong. It is the LEAST expensive rate in many years for an
Expo headquarters hotel. We negotiated a single or double
room rate of only $99.95 per night. So treat
yourself! Or, for the very budget-conscious traveler, we're
working on an even better deal nearby.

* The front of the line: Expo management
reserves
the right to offer
first pitch ticket access to a small number (no more than 40) Platinum
Pass registrants, should such a class of registrations be
offered. We guarantee that this group absolutely would not
exceed
40 persons -- a very small percentage of the nearly 1,000 who buy pitch
tickets. |
