Canadian Screenwriters rock!

Thursday, May 15 at the Toronto Public Library.
Over 75 people turned out to hear 3 of Toronto's top screenwriters (pictured from my left, Janet MacLean, Malcolm MacRury and Cal Coons) respond to queries about their work and their creative process.
I was thrilled by the turnout and want to express my appreciation to the Library for sponsoring the event. I showed 14 clips from our collective body of work which were used to illustrate and illuminate some of the topics discussed: story, structure, character, theme and lots of insights on how these talented pros write and run the shows they produce.
If any of you were present, I'd love to hear what you thought. Please post a comment! (From what I read of the comment sheets attendees filled out, the evening was a success--but if there's something you would like me to explain further, let me know.)
