This group is for people interested in writing character-driven screenplays with strong narrative values. A screenplay isn't a novel, and it's not a film. It's a tool to get a critical mass of professionals together to make a film. The stronger the story and the more human the characters, the better the screenplay. Classic narrative structure will be encouraged as a respectful basis for script critique, as will analysis of classic and current films and scripts for technique. All genres welcome!

Meet other Dallas/TEXAS Horror Movie fans to openly discuss films that frighten and delight you, analyze films and maybe even get together for movie fests.

Feel free to arrange another meeting place, screen a film favorite or become an assistant organizer and sp …
