LAST CALL: Mixer Feb. 11th
Last chance to sign up for this month’s mixer if you haven't already. ScreenPlayLab is a great emotional boost if you’re wondering if anybody cares in Hollywood. We care and will be pumping out positive energy as usual.
See below for details on many other upcoming industry events.
ScreenPlayLab isn’t a writers group. It’s for everyone interested in scripted TV and film...producers, writers, actors, directors, editors, composers, crew, representation. People from all aspects of the business are at our events.
That’s Thursday, Feb. 11th, between 7pm and 10pm. I’m typically sitting at a table near the door. ScreenPlayLab co-founder Gabrielle Pantera is there, too. We want to talk to everyone, so please say hi when you arrive and again when you leave. If you’re shy, ask me to introduce you around.
Join us at the elegant Sidebar by Wolfgang Puck in the Regency Beverly Wilshire Hotel, 9500 Wilshire Blvd. at Rodeo Drive, where "Pretty Woman" was filmed in Beverly Hills. Biz casual or cocktail attire. No cover charge and no minimum, just order something. Drinks start at $6 but check with your server as some go much higher. Ask about drink specials, appetizers and deserts. Please RSVP online using web form:
