Calling all writers, wannabe writers, and those who work with writers...you won't want to miss a chance to learn from one of the all-time masters of the art of screenwriting.

He's the teacher Steven Spielberg calls "the best screenwriting teacher going." He's Chairman Emeritus of UCLA's Screenwriting program and has taught more screenwriters of top-grossing films than anybody else. He also teaches at the Sorbonne in Paris and at his own very successful workshops back in Superior, Nebraska.

He wrote the best-selling and much lauded how-to book, "Screenwriting 434." (If you don't have his book, pick one up before Monday...). He's written award-winning movies, exec'd for nearly every studio and network, has known and worked with the best of the best in Hollywood -- and has the incredible stories to prove it!

And he is also one of our most popular Hollywood Salon guests, and a dear friend of the NCC...Lew Hunter.

If you are a "wannabe" screenwriter, (or as Lew prefers to call his students, a "gottabe" screenwriter), you won't want to miss this Salon. Hope to see you Monday, February 8th at the Culver.

Salons are always on the Second Monday of the month.

We start around 7:30, with special guests beginning about 8:30. The Salon goes until about 10, but schmoozing continues until 10:30 or 11.

THE CULVER HOTEL is in the center of downtown Culver City, right where Washington crosses Culver, at 9400 Culver Blvd. Free parking on the street and in city structures nearby. culverhotel.com

We meet in Harry Culver's old office on the 2nd Floor -- come up the big staircase behind the lobby bar.

We ask a $10 donation, and that includes a drink ticket and a raffle ticket for great Nebraska prizes. The hotel offers wonderful food, from appetizers to full meals.
