Welcome to the Creative Screenwriting message board!
First, thanks to Will Plyler, Done Deal, and CS columnist and board moderator Jim Mercurio for setting us up!
Yes, after 13 years of print, four Expos, and almost two years of CS Weekly and the Screening Series, we’re jumping into the world of message boards because, well, we still have too much time on our hands.
Grab a pixel and let us know what you think of the mag, how we’re doing. To get you started, here’s a rundown of what’s been keeping us lately:
Creative Screenwriting Magazine
Our flagship is still running strong -- this year alone we talked to Steven Spielberg, Steve Martin, and Steve Kloves (a.k.a. the man who brought all four Harry Potter novels to the screen). And we’ve got more great stuff on tap for 2006, including Robin Swicord on Memoirs of a Geisha, The Shield’s Shawn Ryan on his new show The Unit (co-created with David Mamet), and expanded coverage on writing for videogames. So click here to get a taste of our print magazine. (http://www.creativescreenwriting.com/index.html)

L.A. Screening Series
In L.A.? Get in on our free screening series, run by Senior Editor Extraordinaire Jeff Goldsmith! We screen a new film, then Jeff and the screenwriter do a live Q&A right after. Recent screenings include Golden Globe nominees The Squid and the Whale, Walk the Line, and A History of Violence, as well as Memoirs of a Geisha and the upcoming Eli Roth horrorfest Hostel (with an exec producer with the initials QT scheduled to appear). You can sign up for the screening series right here (http://www.creativescreenwriting.com/index.html)in the upper right-hand corner.
Podcasts!
Not in L.A., or just too wired to leave the house. Check out the CS Podcast series! The tireless Mr. Goldsmith converts his post-screening Q&As into podcasts that you can listen to on your home computer, your iPod, or anywhere else you can play an MP3 file. Learn more about podcasts here. (http://www.creativescreenwriting.com/podcasts/main.html)
