My Coffee Can Beat Up Your Coffee

Hey all:

After a long sojourn in Toronto I’ve just returned to Los Angeles, my old, new home base.

If you’ve read my book My Story Can Beat Up Your Story you’ll know that I love screenwriting and have some pretty specific ideas about what makes screenplays work and how writers can develop and maintain their careers. I thought that, now that I’m local to LA again, it’d be fun if, every once in a while, I pitched tent at a coffee shop somewhere and let people know when I’m going to be there. I’ll happily work with whoever shows up on whatever story/script question or problem they might be having with a project. Professional, amateur, established, aspiring…everyone can use a fresh set of ideas now and then. No catch, just a fun way to share what I know about story, spend some time together, and learn from each other. Whoever comes takes part in the discussion so you can’t be shy about having others listen to your ideas.

With all this in mind, let’s get together for the kick-off session at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at 233 South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills this coming Wednesday morning, October 19, from 7:30am to 9:00am. I’ll try to work it out so everyone gets time to work through your questions, but it’ll be first come, first worked with. And if no one shows, that’s fine too! I’ll just work on my own stuff!

If you have any questions or want to give me a heads up that you’re coming shoot me an email to jeff*AT*mscbuys*DOT*com.
