WHAT NOT TO DO IN A SCREENPLAY
IF YOU WANT IT TO SELL

Writer/producer and script consultant, Peter Myers,
shares the most common mistakes screenwriters make which lessen a script's
chances of getting a greenlight

A free talk on
November 17, 7:00 p.m. (free parking on premises)

At Author Services, 7051
Hollywood Boulevard (at Sycamore), L.A. CA 90028

In recent years, in addition to his writing and producing, Peter Myers
has analyzed over eighty screenplays for writers, producers and directors.
Two feature films (one in L.A., and one in Alaska) were shot in 2009,
using scripts rewritten according to Peter's analyses, with a third
scheduled for later in 2009, and a fourth scheduled for 2010 at England's
famous Pinewood Studios. Peter's p ractical advice to writers will appear
in "Now Write! Screenwriting," due in bookstores soon.

Peter sees the same flaws in most scripts he analyzes: Errors in
premise, theme, tone, character development, dialogue, plotting,
structure, rhythm, pacing, format or marketability. Due, partly, to the
stiff competition, these mistakes can sabotage a sale. Peter goes over
them in detail.

Peter has been hired to write, rewrite, or has optioned, over ten feature
scripts and has had material produced for the media of syndicated
television and cable. One of his scripts won an Honorable Mention in the
script competition at the Thunderbird Int'l Film Festival. Peter
developed a script for a Best Picture Oscar-winning producer which (as a
$50-$75 million movie), went into the packaging stage at the prestigious
William Morris Agency.

As either writer or producer, Peter currently has five pro jects on
the development/production slates of four independent film companies in
Southern California. Three of his projects are part of a five-picture,
$240 million film slate which he created with producer Karen Kramer, widow
of the great producer/director, Stanley Kramer.
