"How To Break Into Hollywood From 10,000 Kilometre

If you want to get the inside track on how to get your screenplay from page to screen, then don’t miss this unique two-day seminar workshop with award-winning US writer/ producer Paul Margolis.

In contrast to other screenwriting gurus, Paul is a successful working screenwriter with nearly 30 years in the industry trenches. A member of the distinguished film faculty at Brooks Institute in Ventura, California, Paul has written screenplays for every major movie & TV studio in Hollywood. Paul’s workshops are specifically designed for New Zealand screenwriters who want to create emotionally powerful stories with universal appeal while expanding their opportunities outside the local film market. Having a good story is not enough – Paul shows you how to develop a personalised strategy for selling your script including designing a pitch that will make US agents and producers say “Yes!”

Paul's workshops will cover:
- What Hollywood is looking for and why
- Rules of the Hollywood game - how to use them to your best advantage
- Why being from NZ may actually improve your odds

If you’re serious about becoming a successful, working screenwriter with a stake in the US market, then you can’t afford to miss “How To Break Into Hollywood”!
