Nashville, Tenn. – March 3, 2008 – Mark your calendars for the Tenth Annual Nashville Screenwriters Conference (NSC). The highly acclaimed, open-to-the-public conference is set to take place on May 30- June 1, 2008 at the Union Station Hotel in downtown Nashville. This year NSC brings Hollywood’s top writers to Nashville to provide aspiring screenwriters and individuals interested in the film and TV industry the opportunity to network, learn and explore employment options. This is a special year for the conference as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. For more information and updates, visit www.nashscreen.com.
This year NSC is excited to be bringing some of the writing staff of one of the most popular shows on network television, Grey’s Anatomy. As part of a special, half-day event, screenwriter Larry Wilson (“Beetlejuice,” “The Addams Family,”) will offer “Method to Madness,” the world’s fastest screenwriting course. The conference will also feature insight into the internet and how it is affecting the film and TV business while giving Nashville’s creative community face-to-face dialogue with the newly back-to-work film and television writers. The “Music in Film & TV Luncheon” will return again this year offering aspiring songwriters, composers and artists an opportunity to learn how to place their music in films and TV.

Previous guests of NSC have included industry leaders from a variety of genres including John August (writer of “Big Fish,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “Go”), David Self (writer of “Road to Perdition” and “Thirteen Days”), Randall Wallace (writer of “Braveheart,” “Pearl Harbor),” and Greg Walker (Writer and Executive Producer of “Without A Trace)”

Panelists are subject to change and many others will be confirmed prior to the conference. For more information on NSC registration, special screenings, and additional panelists, log onto www.nashscreen.com.
