The
first session of STORY CONFERENCE was held at the Beverly Hills Library on
Saturday, September 14th.
It was hosted by Christopher Lockhart, Executive Story Editor at
ICM. He was joined by
co-worker Jack d’Annibale, Senior Story Analyst.
Over 70 aspiring writers attended.
The screenplay MR. STILTSKIN - by Michael Ferrari - was analyzed by the group.
Jack took the stage and spoke about screenwriters creating “hope
and fear” in moviegoers. Later,
an open forum enabled writers to practice pitches and iron out story
glitches. Jack
d’Annibale has graciously consented to co-host the remaining five
sessions. Before joining ICM,
Jack worked for CAROL BODIE ENTERTAINMENT (GIRL INTERRUPTED) and as a story consultant throughout the industry.
After having studied history as an undergraduate at Columbia
University, he earned an MFA in screenwriting from USC.
