Toronto Summit - April 9-10, 2011
Over two intense days, these four masters of the craft will provide you an unmatched depth and understanding of screenwriting and story that is ideal for screenwriters, filmmakers, TV writers, producers, directors and creative executives. Michael, Linda, John and Syd will each teach half-day classes followed by a half-hour Q&A session in which you'll be able to follow-up with any questions you may have. The speakers having taken the time and care to share their outlines with each other to make sure they provide you the best, most engaging material possible without overlap.
And to celebrate the Summit coming to Toronto for the first time ever, we are pleased to announce on Saturday evening, April 9th, all four speakers will be on stage together participating in an hour-long Q&A about the craft and business of writing! It's a great opportunity to ask your questions about how to pitch, what companies are looking for and more.
CNN called Syd Field, "The guru of all screenwriters," while The Hollywood Reporter said he's "the most sought-after screenwriting teacher in the world." Oscar-winning director of "A Beautiful Mind" Ron Howard said, "I've used [Linda Seger's] concepts... on all my films starting with Apollo 13." Ralph Winter, acclaimed producer of such films as X-Men I, II & III, Fantastic Four and other blockbusters claimed, "John Truby's course is so good I took it twice." And billion-dollar box office screenwriter Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 & 3, Shrek, National Treasure: Book of Treasures), said, "Michael Hauge is the only screenwriting instructor out there who might be truly wasting his time - because he should be writing screenplays instead. Higher praise I cannot give."
Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear 4 world-class speakers in a single weekend where the goal is simple: to learn, network and have some fun at the same time. The Vancouver Sun called the Summit "a most amazing event" that "drew an incredibly diverse crowd in terms of ages and backgrounds. Great event." With the class size being strictly limited to 275 participants, the Screenwriters' Summit in Toronto will be a great and unique opportunity to hear some of screenwriting's best and most-respected teachers.
