Indian Summer Screenwriting ColonyMake It an Indian SummerIndian Summer Screenwriting Colony

After long, hot summer days, the spirit of September can often bring a crackle to the air. Kids are heading back to school. Festivities loom. There is a surge of energy and creativity, and you find yourself willing and wanting to learn. That screenplay on your “to-do list” is itching for your attention. You have to write!

But where to start?  Do you begin with characters or plot?  Or you have a beginning, but lose sight of your story in the middle and need some help with structure.  Or you have the story, but don’t know how it ends.  Or you have the whole shebang in your head, but haven’t put it onto paper!

Boy, some guidance would sure be swell.

Lew Hunter’s Indian Summer Screenwriting Colony, this coming September 13-26, immerses you into that nurturing, fulltime screenwriting experience you desire. The Indian Summer Screenwriting Colony is designed to provide you with a productive, cocoon environment for your writing where you will be encouraged to progress from story idea, to treatment, to step-outline and finally to complete the First Act of the Screenplay (30 pages).

“Well, Lew, you have done it again, as I am sure you have done so many, many times. Kicked a would-be in the butt, with a teacher's words of wisdom and inspired him to “Write On”. From this moment on, everything I write must stand the test of what came out of the Colony house living room.”

Once in a Lew Moon

I'm a documentary! But not any documentary. I'm a documentary on the life of one amazing man who has his fingerprint all over pop culture for the past five decades. Born and raised in Guide Rock, Nebraska, Lew Hunter came from humble beginnings and worked his way to the top of Hollywood working in televison and film at NBC, ABC, Walt Disney, CBS, Lorimar, Warner Brothers, plus many more. After leaving television, he became one of the top screenwriting professors in the world at the famous UCLA School of Film and Television. Recently retiring and moving back to Nebraska, Lew Hunter still teaches and touches many writers from around the world. Check out teasers and a trailer of our documentary, Once in a Lew Moon, to be released in early 2008!

Executive Producer: Andrew Vamosi — Producer: Chance Williams
