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!

Group for those who like classic films, not just recent releases. We primarily meet at a clubhouse, coffeeshop, in public libraries, home theaters and other venues with projectors or big plasma screens (all over Dallas area - from Ray Hubbard to Joe Pool Lake). The Magnolia in the West Village often has Turner Classic movies showing on the big screen. We then talk about the film, afterward. Feel free to arrange another meeting place, screen a film favorite or become an assistant organizer and sp …
