Screenwriting and the Austin Film Festival

The gorgeous Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX - AFF Headquarters


Welcome fellow screenwriters!  The greatest screenwriting festival in the history of the world is coming up at the end of October.  I'm lucky enough to be a panelist for the first time, along with excellent writers Susan Brunig and Emily Zulauf.  We'll be speaking on "Creating and Sustaining a Kick-Ass Writers Group."  Thought I'd collect my posts related to screenwriting groups and the Austin Film Festival (AFF) for your convenience.  Enjoy!
