My neighbor Chad Kultgen is speaking at ScreenplayLab on Sunday.
Chad is a new writer with the distinction of selling a book, a
reality TV show, a scripted TV show and a feature screenplay in
rapid succession. Chad is represented by CAA and Benderspink.

We had a fantastic event last Sunday with line producer Jim Tripp
at the 42-seat Raleigh Studios Fairbanks Theater. We're back in
the same theater this Sunday. We already have RSVPs for 30, before
I've even sent out the announcement. Don't wait too long!

Sunday, August 27, 2006, 3pm to 6pm
Raleigh Studios
5300 Melrose at Van Ness Gate
Hollywood (Next to Paramount)

Free to Industry with RSVP

Selling Your First Project...

Screenwriter Chad Kultgen will talk about what it's like to sell
your first book, movie and TV show. Chad sold his reality show
'Posers' to VH1, a scripted show called 'The Average American
Male' to Showtime, the book version of it to Harper Collins, the
TV show 'Holy Power' to Comedy Central, and the feature screenplay
'Burt Dickenson: The Most Powerful Magician on Planet Earth' to
New Line Cinema.

Workshop reading...

"The Corset Diaries" (Act 3)
by Gabrielle Pantera and Robin Rowe

In this comedy feature based on the best-selling novel by Katie
MacAlister, an American divorcee is a last-minute replacement
in a British reality TV show.

ScreenplayLab membership passes 1,000...

In a little over a year ScreenplayLab has grown from zero to
more than 1,000 members. For comparison, FIND (formerly known
as IFP/West) has 4,000 members but has been around a lot longer.
ScreenplayLab, which nurtures comedy and studio-driven projects,
is in a sense the opposite of FIND which promotes dark and
indie content. ScreenplayLab has accomplished a lot with no
budget and without a paid staff.

Write Act Theater to host ScreenplayLab....

Thank you Wil Bowers and John Lant! Write Act Theater will be
hosting some of ScreenplayLab's upcoming events in their
60-seat theater in Hollywood. ScreenplayLab will continue to
have some events at Raleigh Studios and The Lillian when
they're available. If you know of an Equity theater in the
Hollywood or Westwood vicinity who'd like to host us let me
know. We still need space for some events.
