The September meeting of the Carolina Screenwriters began promptly at 7:00pm with reviews of the Charlotte Film Festival the previous weekend.

As a group we shared tips for screenwriters, and some of the moving trends in the film industry.

Our guest speaker was Louis Di Eugenio from Greensboro who took us on a journey of his interests in writing to his current screenwriting and film making productions.

We read a short (13 page) script Louie had written and the group engaged in some discussion regarding his screenplay.

We send a collective "THANKS, Louie!!" for driving to Charlotte and for entertaining and educating us.

We had two new members at the September meeting, Rick Johnson and Mack Staton whom we are thrilled will be joining us.

Debbie Miller, our contact from the Art Institute sat in on our meeting as well and we hope she’ll join us again next time.

We are sad to see James Matthews leave us, he’s transferring from the Art Institute in Charlotte to the Art Institute in New York at the end of September, and though he’ll still be a part of our club, we will miss our regular interaction with him. His contributions to our club have been enormous and we appreciate his participation in our group immensely.

We took individual photos of our members at the September Meeting, now posted to the members section of the website

We’ll be taking photos again at the October meeting for those who were absent or for those whose pictures didn’t turn out. (Mark, Angela, & Lisa – too blurry)

All dues paying members need to send their bios, (a brief personal history, can be entertaining or in resume format) to Angela@AngelaOberer.com to be included on your own separate webpage at www.CarolinaScreenwriters.com

The purpose of having your own page is to help promote you as a screenwriter.

Email accounts are being set up and will be emailed with instructions to our members by the end of this week.

Thanks to all who participated in our September meeting.

Big thanks to our new board of directors who have all jumped right in to make our club the success it is.
