Screenwriter Karaoke is just what it sounds like, but perhaps slightly cooler: Karaoke for Screenwriters.
Think of it as a way to let your hair down. It is a little known secret that screenwriters love karaoke. Originally born from the head of screenwriter Merrel Davis, he felt there must be a more fun and boisterous way to network, all while having a good time.
Looking for a collaborative writing partner with a knack for 17th Century English? Reach out before belting These Boots Were Made for Walking. Oww! Need a no-nonsense DP with a good reel? Woo them with your manly rendition of Sweet Transvestite. Needs some coverage on your latest romantic comedy? I promise you someone in the room will have you covered!
Is this only for screenwriters?
No! In fact, the event usually brings a mix of writers, actors, editors and various other filmmaking peers. If you are looking to connect with somebody, for say, a short film. There is no better place to begin than Screenwriter Karaoke!
But… There are 5 million other networking events for writers and filmmakers already.
That’s not really a question but, right you are! However these environments can sometimes be awkward. In networking portions of an event you often have to mill around, wait for a break in conversation and interject. It’s hit or miss. Screenwriter Karaoke aims to be a more informal way to get to know your peers and counterparts and hopefully make a connection!
When, Where?
Here it is again for good measure.
