This week sees Robert McKee deliver his brilliant Story seminar series in Melbourne before bringing the three day screenwriting-fest to Sydney for what is apparently his last visit to Australia. If you are a screenwriter - amateur or otherwise - you will most likely have come across McKee in your readings. Yet the chance to participate in the fuill three day seminar is a chance not to be missed.
The Australian recently interviewed McKee in the build up to his visit and Time Out talked with the Hollywood script 'fixer' on his opinion of recent films like Slumdog Millionaire and Australia.
If you don't know why so many writers swear by McKee and his book Story, watch the following short interview he did with George Stroumboulopoulos.
The Melbourne sessions are now completely sold out. I'm going to be at the Sydney sessions from June 26th to 28th, at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington, and there are a few tickets left. If you come along, look out for me and say hi in the break and share your thoughts, as I'll be blogging my observations and revelations afterwards.
See you there!
