Frank Furino is now bringing his hugely successful workshop,
“The Write Stuff” to the desert and will share with us:
• THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF CREATIVE WRITING
• OUTLINE VS. TREATMENT VS. SCRIPT
• STORY VS. PLOT
• CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
• CONFLICT AS BASIS OF DRAMA (PROTAGONIST VS. ANTAGONIST)
• DIALOG – How to write realistically (to be said – not read)
• HOW – WHERE & WHEN TO WRITE (more important than you may think)
If you have long harbored the dream of writing that story, book or screenplay, here’s your chance to pick up invaluable tips and motivation from a successful Hollywood professional who made his own dream of writing come true!
FRANK FURINO, Writer/Producer of many TV drama series including “Flamingo Road,” “Dynasty,” “Dallas,” “Falcon Crest,” & “The Colbys.” For a time he was co-head writer on “General Hospital,” and co-created and produced “Nightingales” starring Suzanne Pleshette for NBC-TV.
Frank didn’t start out as a writer. He started his career in production, but never gave up the dream of writing. He tells all of his students, “It’s never too late to start to write!”
The 60’s and 70’s saw some of the most volatile and exciting times in our history. From the assassination of JFK and Robert Kennedy, to the first Lunar Landing, to the Manson Trial and Watergate…Frank was there. As staff director at ABC News & Sports, he was privileged to work with luminaries such as Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Howard Cosell and Barbara Walters, to name a few.
Later, he joined Dick Clark Productions as Director of their syndicated radio division, where for 8 years, he wrote and produced a variety of music shows. He then moved on to primetime/daytime TV.
Frank’s passion for writing was passed along when he taught Creative Writing at UCLA Extension for three years.
Today he is President and co-founder of Furino/Greene Creative, one of the most successful Marketing/PR agencies in the Valley.
What’s YOUR story? Come be inspired to write it! Everyone has a story to tell. Whether you are a novice or professional writer, there will be much to be gained by attending this informative afternoon.
