Four of the biggest screenwriting teachers in the world come together

Screenwriters Summit. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear 4
masters of the craft each present a full half-day class (specific course
outlines below) based on their unique teachings on the art and craft of
screenwriting.
As an added bonus, Hollywood producer and "Pitch King" Robert Kosberg

your scripts from the master, and participate in a Q&A session...and
even pitch your own script to him.
