CommentThanks for adding me to your connections here on nextcat.com.

This site is very cool. I have gotten a lot of GREAT responses from everyone here since joining. Hopefully this networking will benefit many.

FYI: I've posted a few photos from my work on "CORNERED!" with Steven Guttenberg, take a look when you can.

Additionally in my BLOG area I have provided direct links to several Music Videos and many Portfolio pages of my work. My resume can also be found as a pdf file on my profile page.

Thanks again for networking with me...who knows where it might lead. Hope to work with you in the future.


Best of Luck,

CommentCOMBINE A BEACH WEEKEND

WITH THE SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP OF THE YEAR!

This world-class screenwriting workshop will be held June 7th & 8th in beautiful downtown Huntington Beach, steps from the famous Huntington Beach pier, 3-mile long warm-sand beach and the most amazing assortment of outside dining on the West Coast. This hands-on, ultra-practical workshop will be led by award-winning screenwriter and screenwriting guru Rob Tobin whose own latest script, “Camel Wars,” an Iraq War drama, is in pre-production with John McTiernan (“Die Hard,” “Predator” “Hunt for Red October”) and a $40 million budget.

Here is what FOUR-TIME EMMY WINNER Sandy Frank says about Rob Tobin’s “The Screenwriting Formula”:

“I'm an Emmy-winning TV writer who's read hundreds of books about screenwriting and story. Rob Tobin's is simply the best I've ever seen. It's straightforward without being simplistic, and it relates the various elements of story in a way I've never seen before. For example, a lot of books will tell you that the hero has to have a goal and a flaw, but Tobin shows how the two elements have to interact to get a satisfying story. This book should be on every screenwriter's shelf.”


Rob will lead participants through the process of creating a detailed synopsis of a brand new screenplay. Participants will thus leave the workshop with not only a complete set of screenwriting skills, techniques and knowledge, but with a detailed blueprint of their next structurally bulletproof screenplay.


Who needs this workshop? Screenwriters, certainly, but also agents, managers, producers, directors, actors, film executives -- anyone whose career depends on being able to recognize and analyze great storytelling. Even novelists and playwrights will benefit greatly from this workshop because teaches storytelling skills that can be applied to any genre and any medium.


FEES DEEPLY DISCOUNTED


Rob normally charges $395 for this two-day workshop, already a great bargain. For this weekend only, however, the workshop is discounted an additional 25%, to $295, AND out of town participants who fly in for the workshop will be given an additional $50 discount!

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MOVE YOUR WRITING

AND/OR FILM CAREER A QUANTUM LEAP FORWARD!

Contact Rob directly at scripts@earthlink.net or 714-717-4289 to register for the workshop and for more details. Rob looks forward to seeing you on June 7th and 8th under the sunny Huntington Beach skies!
