Free Screening of LARS AND THE REAL GIRL

Thank you to MGM for inviting ScreenplayLab to a free screening of LARS AND THE REAL GIRL at the Hollywood Arclight on October 2nd, ten days before it opens in theaters. Details below...

Last call to enroll in TRICK OR TREAT-MENT at the intro price of $175. If you want to join me on an adventure in screenwriting that will take a select group of us to a higher level in writing and pitching, now's the time. Treatments and scene cards are amazingly powerful tools. AFI, USC, UCLA...none of them offer a course like this. TRICK OR TREAT-MENT is about getting to the bones of your story so you can rip through writing it and pitch it confidently. If you're going to miss having writer's block and being tongue-tied in the pitch, don't take this course! And because a number of people wrote to say they had a conflict with Tuesday nights, I'm changing the class schedule to accommodate. Supports distance-learning, too. You don't even have to be in Hollywood. What's your excuse for missing this opportunity? Details below...

Trick or Treat-ment course starting October 1st...

A select group of us are taking our writing and pitching to a higher level through mastering treatments, scene cards, synopses, and reverse adaptation. Led by ScreenplayLab co-founder and journalist Robin Rowe. Starts October 1st, 2007, with bonus pre-course sessions on September 25th and September 30th. Introductory price for this 5-week course is just $175. Enroll now! Don't miss it!

VIP guests added to Trick or Treat-ment...

One more reason to enroll in my TRICK OR TREAT-MENTS course, executives will be joining us to talk about what they like to see in a treatment. I'm not going to tell you who it is in advance, but from the speakers I've brought to ScreenplayLab for the last two years you know it will be good!

Robin Rowe joins HOLLYWOOD TODAY...

I've joined Hollywood Today as film and television reviewer.

This brings the number of publications I write for to ten, the largest being POPULAR MECHANICS with a circulation of 1M+.
