Turning Pro: A Few Words About Writing and Discipline and Breaking In
Summary
Paul Guay conceived of and co-wrote the hit Jim Carrey movie Liar, Liar, among other recognizable studio films.
In this 20 minute seminar (followed by a live Q&A session), Paul tackles what to do, and more importantly what not to do, in the insanely competitive but potentially highly rewarding art and craft and business of screenwriting.
Presented by
Paul Guay
