Do you dream of one day writing a movie script? If you do, you’re not alone or unusual. Many writers have tucked that dream away deep in their heart. The challenge is to make it happen.
Check out the ASSIST NEWS article by CCWC keynoter, Dan Wooding. “Opening the Doors to Hollywood,” announces the 8th Annual Kairos Prizes for spiritually uplifting screenplays by first-time and beginning screenwriters sponsored by the Christian Film & Television Commission (CFTVC) and supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Dr. Ted Baehr, founder and chairman of CFTVC, also will be keynoting at CCWC and teaching a continuing session on Breakthrough Scriptwriting. With entries for the Kairos prizes accepted until September 24, Dr. Baehr’s continuing session at the May 16-19 Colorado Christian Writers Conference is a great way for aspiring screenwriters to prepare.
Eric Cameron, who attended his continuing session two years ago, says: “Dr. Baehr knows the ins and outs of both Hollywood and visual storytelling. This is a rare and valuable combination, allowing him to impart wisdom on the craft of screenwriting as well as the equally important craft of infiltrating an industry often hostile to the Church and Christian morals. To me he is an embodiment of Matthew 10:16 ‘be shrewd as serpents, and innocent as doves.’
“Students will take away an incredibly solid foundation for writing screenplays, and an insider’s insight into how ‘he Industry’ works. Film and television are the most influential mediums for influencing our culture, and Dr. Baehr is on mission to equip Christians with the skills and wisdom to take Hollywood for Christ.”
If this is your dream, now is the time to pursue it. Or perhaps you know another writer with this dream. Please pass this on to them.
