About the Event
Writer-actor-producer Rick Treon will give a broad overview of the filmmaking process, starting with the written word and ending with you watching it on the big or small screen! But be prepared – the journey is long, winding, and fraught with obstacles.
Rick has one original docu-series in active Hollywood development, and it has taken a few of those aforementioned turns; has worked on both sides of the camera on sets of all sizes, including his own; is producing short films with his own company, Bomb City Entertainment; and has representation for both his screenwriting and acting.
With this combined experience, Rick will share his knowledge – and some off-the-record stories from sets! – so you can have a better understanding of how your own stories can make their way to a theater or living room near you!
