The Heroine's Journey: The Craft of Writing Female Characters with Pamela Gray.
Pamela Gray was named one of Variety’s “Ten Top Screenwriters to Watch.” Pamela wrote the script for Hilary Swank’s new movie “Betty Anne Walters,” which Fox Searchlight is releasing in the fall, and she is currently adapting the bestselling memoir, “Dewey,” The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World” with Meryl Streep set to star. In this interactive workshop Pamela will give you tools to help create multi-dimensional female characters. The seminar will incorporate film clips that demonstrate ways to reveal and deepen character and show character through action. Other elements of screenwriting will be touched upon, including finding your story, visual storytelling, story structure, dialogue and narration. Pamela will also be on hand for a Q&A to answer your burning questions about craft, structure, character development and breaking into the business. All welcome; no screenwriting experience necessary.
Pamela Gray's other credits include MUSIC OF THE HEART, which earned Meryl Streep an Oscar nomination; and the critically acclaimed film, A WALK ON THE MOON, produced by Dustin Hoffman and starring Diane Lane and Viggo Mortensen. Entertainment Weekly recently rated the film 9 out of the “50 Sexiest Movies of all Time,” and Pamela’s screenplay was nominated for a Golden Satellite award. |

The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club directed by Amanda Pope
(USA, 2008, 66 min, Documentary)
A charismatic figure immortalized in Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff, Florence 'Pancho' Barnes was one of the most important women in 20th Century aviation. A tough and fearless pilot, Pancho flew on Amelia Earhart's wingtip, performed as a barnstormer throughout California, and made a name for herself as Hollywood's first female stunt pilot in the 1920's and 30's. Just before WWII she opened a ranch near Edwards Air Force Base that became a famous – some would say notorious – hangout for test pilots and movie stars. Known as the 'Happy Bottom Riding Club', it became the epicenter of the aviation world during the early jet age. Chuck Yeager celebrated breaking the sound barrier there in 1947, and Howard Hughes and Jimmy Doolittle caroused in the bar. The Club's destruction by fire in 1953 is seen by many to mark the end of a Golden Era in post-WWII aviation. In the same fashion Pancho herself has become something of a legend, a fascinating yet enigmatic icon whose swagger is often celebrated, but whose story is largely unknown. Until now. |
