UPCOMING EVENTS
The Screenwriting Series is an online course for writers who are new to screenwriting. The series, taught by Kathy Berardi, an independent writer-producer and UCLA MFA Screenwriting alum, embraces the philosophy of learning by doing. The 4-week Hollywood-style class helps students get into a collaborative mindset to learn the art of storytelling and technical essentials required for professional screenplays. Beyond receiving instruction and step by step how-to advice in each webinar, students will be motivated and encouraged to jump right into writing by collaborating with the instructor and each other with creative brainstorms, process and content critiques, and online discussion.
Twilight of the Gods is an all-new daring and spectacular animated vision of Norse mythology. In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds and great despair, LEIF, a mortal King, is saved on the battlefield by SIGRID, an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, SIGRID and LEIF survive a wrath of terror from THOR, which sets them - and a crew of crusaders - on an against all odds and merciless mission for vengeance. This heroic story of love, loss and revenge, is a journey to Hell and beyond… across fantastical lands, battlefields fierce and bloody, and wars waged against Gods and demons.
