Screenwriter’s workshop in Clearwater at SPC

I have a passion for the arts. I love music and I love movies.  I have been exploring my passion for movies by attending a screenwriter’s workshop at St Pete College in Clearwater. We meet every Tuesday evening from 6-8pm. I love this workshop because it gives me a chance to share my writing with other screenwriters in the Tampa Bay Area.

If you are interested, you should check it out. The instructor Craig Weeden is an award winning writer who is passionate about screenwriting and poetry. Mr Weeden has written several published works and is a recognized poet.

Craig recently wrote Mia’s Gift, a middle-grade novel with his wife Victoria. You can read more about Craig and Mia’s Gift here.

The workshop is only $65. You can sign up for the workshop here.

Support an Indie Movie!

Ok, so a filmmaker friend of mine Adam Bowers @addiebowwow is currently fundraising for his next move titled PAPERBACK.

Adam’s first movie New Low was filmed on a budget of $2000 and was an official selection at 2010 Sundance. Not bad for a first movie, you can watch it on HULU or order your very own personal copy on DVD.

Please support his project on kickstarter. I promise you, with that kind of money, he will not disappoint.
