LA CHULITA FILMS. OAXACA SCREENWRITING PROGRAM. MARCH 14-27, 2009. OAXACA, MEXICO
OAXACA SCREENWRITING PROGRAM
Two weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico, with meals and I get to rewrite my script with popular and amazing UCLA professor Paul Chitlik? Yes! We made it possible!
This intensive course*, suggested by students in Paul Chitlik's UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting rewrite class last summer, is an opportunity to get away from the distractions of life in LA — the cellphones, the relatives asking for money, and the studios clamoring for your scripts. The course will take place in Hostal de la Noria, a boutique hotel located in Oaxaca’s historical center. You'll be able to focus, as well as to find inspiration in a city with a great cultural background and culinary tradition.
Yes, there will be intensive seminars, and yes, you'll write like a madman, but there will also be TWO meals a day (lunch and dinner), Monday-Friday, in a well equipped boutique hotel in the historic center of Oaxaca, with internet connection. You'll have a three hour a day seminar and daily office hours for major script issues. There are plenty of private places (including your room) in and around the hotel to find the inspiration you need.
Should you bring your significant other? Cheap vacation for two, granted, but make sure your partner is aware that most of your spare time you'll be writing, not driving from one tourist attraction to another. Have that talk before you sign up, because it's going to be intense.
