Not quite summer, not quite fall. The month of September always feels like a see-saw to me. We feel the warmth of the sun and pull more tomatoes from the garden, and then a crisp night and a football game. The up and down, back and forth of the seasonal change. Notice I made no mention of pumpkin spice, oops! 😄😉

Last month we took a close look at a feature script and how it changed after being produced. It was an excellent exercise that we strongly encourage for writers who want to get better at the craft.

Read scripts, watch movies/shows,  break it down, even outline/card it. You will get better!

The next meetup is Saturday September 16th at 12:30, Oregon library. Interviewing is a topic I want to talk about. Developing good questions to ask yourself, your characters, and others to gain information or facts needed to tell a story.

Old West End has a busy couple months ahead on the Festival road. We just got back from GenreBlast in Virginia where we won Best Poster! Next up is KinoDrome in Cleveland. Waiting on some big notifications for the fall, stay tuned to our pages on Facebook and Instagram.

Keep writing and creating Toledo!
