The Screenwriting Expo

The 2011 Screenwriting Expo

I organized and produced this international meeting from 2007 to 2011.

I also designed and built this website from scratch with help from a Javascript/PHP programmer.

PLEASE NOTE: The links in this page do not work.

This page is a copy of the formerly live home page of the Expo.
It offers a glimpse of the scope of the meeting, and is a sample of my web design work before WordPress.

Don't Miss This Wonderful Interview

AMIN MATALQA is the director of the first Arab-language Disney feature film, ‘The United’ (due in theaters early 2012) and writer/director of the 2008 Jordanian feature film, ‘Captain Abu Raed,’ which won the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for World Cinema (Dramatic). With 28 international awards, Captain was Jordan’s first-ever entry into the Oscars (and won 76% critic and 80% audience approval at Rotten Tomatoes). Amin has an MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute. Originally from Jordan, little Amin immigrated to the US with his family in 1989, went on to study business at Ohio State University, and worked in the technology field for six years. Then, one day in 2003, he decided to start over and pursue his childhood dream of filmmaking. He moved to Los Angeles with his dogs Cello and Oboe, and made 17 short films before getting into AFI. Today he lives in LA with his wife Claire and their dogs. Having completed two feature films, he continues to write screenplays and is in development to direct 'Red Valentine.' You can see the Captain Abu Raed trailer at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6vO6P37LxEx
