Vancouver Summit - August 7-8, 2010

Over two intense days, these four masters of the craft will provide you an unmatched depth and understanding of screenwriting and story that is ideal for screenwriters, filmmakers, TV writers, producers, directors and creative executives. Michael, Linda, John and Syd will each teach half-day classes followed by a half-hour Q&A session in which you'll be able to follow-up with any questions you may have. The speakers having taken the time and care to share their outlines with each other to make sure they provide you the best, most engaging material possible without overlap.

And, for the first time ever at the Summit, we are pleased to announce “The Summit Mixer” event on Saturday evening. The Mixer will give attendees the opportunity to relax and socialize with one another over food and drink, plus there will be an additional session and Q&A that evening with a panel of industry professionals who will teach you about the business of television, filmmaking and screenwriting. The Summit Mixer is included with your 2-day registration.

CNN called Syd Field, “The guru of all screenwriters,” while The Hollywood Reporter said he’s “the most sought-after screenwriting teacher in the world.” Oscar-winning director of “A Beautiful Mind” Ron Howard said, "I've used [Linda Seger’s] concepts…on all my films starting with Apollo 13." Ralph Winter, acclaimed producer of such films as X-Men I, II & III, Fantastic Four and other blockbusters claimed, “John Truby’s course is so good I took it twice.” And billion-dollar box office screenwriter Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 & 3, Shrek, National Treasure: Book of Treasures), said, "Michael Hauge is the only screenwriting instructor out there who might be truly wasting his time – because he should be writing screenplays instead. Higher praise I cannot give."

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear 4 world-class speakers in a single weekend where the goal is simple: to learn, network and have some fun at the same time. The Vancouver Sun called the 2008 Vancouver Summit "a most amazing event" that "drew an incredibly diverse crowd in terms of ages and backgrounds. Great event." With the class size being strictly limited to 150 participants, the Screenwriters' Summit in Vancouver will be a great and unique opportunity to hear some of screenwriting's best and most-respected teachers.
