Screenwriters Tell All (Or Some of It, at Least – Okay, a Little Bit of It)

Free screenwriting roundtable at UT

As part of UT's Undergraduate Writing Center's ongoing series about the writing process, they'll be hosting a screenwriting roundtable on April 4 at the Texas Union Theater from 5:15 to 6:30pm. Local funnyman Owen Egerton will moderate the panel titled From First Draft to First Run; dropping knowledge will be Austin scribes Lisa Boyd, Chris Mass, Alex Smith, and Yaphet Smith. Post-panel, Alex Smith's award-winning The Slaughter Rule (2002), starring a baby-faced Ryan Gosling, will screen. The event is free and open to the public. Just don't try to hand anybody your screenplay, okay?
