Hackers On Planet Earth

Hacking at the First Five Pages: A Screenwriting Workshop

LexIcon

Do you have a movie inside you? This is a writing workshop focused on the structures that can be set up in the early pages of a screenplay. Bring your script, come to write, or just come to learn. Details on the wiki. Lines like “hack the planet” are burned into most of our brains, but to get in there they had to go through a lengthy process that all started with a script. The first five pages of a script are critical for engaging the reader and setting up the rest of the story, so that is where this workshop will focus.

Friday 1330 Sutton Place / Workshop B

LexIcon loves fluffy dogs, soccer, cooking things that make people smile, building things, learning new games, reading about new things, waking up in time for lunch, and having a whiteboard around if someone asks him what he’s thinking. Once upon a time he was an editorial fashion photographer, long before that he was a writer and filmmaker, and long before that he was getting computers to do what they ’re not supposed to do, as one does.
