Rosenberg, Scott

Action sells! It delights! But without a good story to support it, it totally bombs. Even the most intricately choreographed chase sequence that romps across rooftops and cavorts through construction sites is only really effective if it furthers the story. In this action-packed panel, writers will address the importance of tension and pacing, plot twists and back kicks, believability and motivations, and how to convey all of this within the margins of your screenplay.

"Action and adventure scripts often follow an overdone line of pointless explosions and bank
robberies, but do they have to follow an overcooked formula? No. Does character development
belong in a twenty-minute car chase? What is just enough but not too much? This panel's got a
few big shots that know a little more than a little bit about ACTION."

Good adventure films never go out of style. Come see writers who are responsible for some of the most action-packed and thrilling films of recent years. Learn how to explore a traditional genre in new ways, and discover methods of pushing the always expanding envelope creatively. Please check your flame thrower at the door.
