Workshop-2
Business and Management in Cinema
“Business and management, so central to our civilization, tend to be ignored or caricaturized in film. This is a pity not only because art should avoid clichés, but also because of the societal deadweight that results. Millions of people doing important and fulfilling work see it devalued in their own and others’ eyes. Millions of people are steering clear of such work because of cinema’s portrayal of it (or lack thereof). In this workshop we will discuss different ways in which business and management get (mis)represented in film and possible approaches to furnishing more insightful cinematic takes on this fascinating area of life

Workshop-3
Show, Don’t Tell in Screenwriting
“It is easy to tell rather than show when writing a screenplay. Two characters engage in brief or extended dialogue, sometimes using witty banter and sometimes the language of deep emotion. They tell what has happened and the plot moves forward. While this system may work for the stage as with the report of Cordelia’s death in Lear, it is almost always better to show rather than tell in a screenplay. In this workshop, we will be looking at a page I wrote that tells the revision in which I show. Workshop members may want to bring along a screenplay page that tells and talk about how they went on to show or about the work they want to accomplish. Finally, are there times when it is good to tell? Perhaps a carefully placed word or two can be a good thing.”
