Lighthouse at the Film Fest

On Saturday, November 21, 12:30 PM
Starz Denver Film Festival
Tales from the Script
$10 Lighthouse member rate (instead of $12)

Join Lighthouse for a day out at the movies with this riveting documentary playing at the Denver Film Festival.

Synopsis: Ever wonder what kind of real-life drama screenw...riters--the often unsung heroes of the moviemaking process--experience? Documentary director Peter Hanson and collaborator Paul Robert Herman have--and from that curiosity comes this tell-all slugfest featuring dozens of Hollywood heavy hitters like William Goldman (The Princess Bride), Paul Schrader Taxi Driver), Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), and horrormeister John Carpenter--all of whom share the glory, defeat, and depravity they have endured while pounding their keyboards.

Suffice to provide samples. From Academy Award winner Bruce Joel Rubin, the writer/director of My Life: “The writer isn’t even at the bottom of the totem pole. They’re at the part that they stick in the ground.” From Stephen Susco: “The Grudge was my first film. It was my 25th screenplay.” And from Dennis Palumbo (My Favorite Year): “A writer friend of mine once described screenwriters as ‘egomaniacs with low self-esteem.’”
