American Screenwriting Conference

Held each year to engage filmmakers and screenwriters alike, the conference will educate new and experienced screenwriters on the state of the art today.

Much more than an acknowledgement:

Accepted screenwriters receive Laurels indicating they are an OFFICIAL SELECTION. More than just bragging rights, this designation confers on the holder the 'seal of approval' from the ONLY screenwriting conference created by the late Dr. Lew Hunter of UCLA Screenwriting, (The "Godfather" of American Screenwriting).

In addition to this association, ACCEPTED screenwriters receive the opportunity to attend our conference by purchassing our highly discounted SPECIAL WRITER'S PASS for the day-long summit, learning to write in an intimate setting from top pros. This pass also includes an AWARDS CEREMONY, AND AN ENTIRE 3_DAY FILM FESTIVAL! Again, this conference is part of the larger The Sacramento International Film Film Festival which your pass allows you to attend. The Sacramento Film Festival, celebrating its 30th year, is a 3 day cinema treat for film enthusiasts and filmmakers. Featuring Academy Award winning films like Slumdog Millionaire and Festival films like the Sundance Grand Jury winner, Porcelain War.
