Nathan Blackwell on Web Series Writing

Coming June 23, 2011 to the Screenwriters Group Meeting

Web series are the newest form of narrative short filmmaking.  As an emerging new style of storytelling, there are still many unknowns about what works, what doesn’t.  Our Screenwriting Group has a fantastic speaker this month, Nathan Blackwell who has been in the forefront of making Web Series!  If you’ve ever thought about writing your own series, learn from someone who has DONE IT, and survived to tell us about it.
