I have hesitated starting this group with the severe privacy towards my writing and the fear someone else might think it's horrible. I've reached a place in my work where I might need some outside input. I think a place aspiring screenwriters can get together in a safe haven free from negativity can be helpful.

This group has grown beyond my capacity to manage, so we are currently closed to new members.  In order to re-open the group, I need 2 people to join the leadership team.  If you're interested in becoming an assistant organizer, please contact me directly.

Hi my name is Christine Marie aka depodol & I've been writing since I was 15 years old... My New Year's Resolution for 2010 was to write more and hopefully have something published by the end of the year. I've learned that the only thing that REALLY motivates me are other writers that share the same passion for their writing talent, so I created this writer's group. This group's main purpose to bring aspiring writers together to share & motivate each other into a positive & productive direction. …

This is an initial invitation to people who want to collaborate to create short films here in the eastern area of Los Angeles County. One of my film professors joked that film industry folks who work and live in Hollywood don't know anything that exists 'east of Pasadena", that Pasadena is "the edge of the known world" to them...similar to the people in Christopher Columbus' time who thought the world was flat and that if you sailed too far, you'd go off the edge into the unknown abyss... This i …

This is a weekly writer's group that meets every Wednesday pm somewhere on the East side.

Their material (script, outline, character bio, whatever) is emailed out to the group who reads it then brings coverage, notes or any ideas they think will help the writer.

I am a writer, and I am Christian. I am currently in the process of building up a production company, with my sight set on an online network. Knowing I cannot do this alone, I am looking for my fellow Filmmakers and Christians that are interested in coming on board and being a part of something that's bigger than us all. In today's world, there are many ways that Christian-themed art/films are viewed. Either it's based off this notion that Jesus is a genie and as soon as you step foot in church, …

I aim to create a space where writers can simply come and get work done with their peers. Manuscripts, screenplays, articles, theses, blogs, indecipherable scribbles, or even a finely crafted email, you just show up, chat a little bit, and then get down to business. Everyone in this group can nudge or shove themselves into gear as they see fit. In the end, it’s all about making the time to sit down, shut up, and write.
