Dean Robert Wood highlights one of Conner’s many accomplishments: "Conner had real work experience going to Burris Logistics in Lakeland FL and did assessments for 5 people. This was invaluable to our division, and more importantly our customer. This was an urgent demand by the client and Conner was able to help and did a great job of interacting with one of our new business supporters."

Taking the Next Steps Toward Hollywood

By Sharon Y. Cobb

We have a vibrant film community in Northeast Florida with many talented writers. Some have been writing for many years. Some are aspiring writers fresh out of film school or UNF’s Continuing Education screenwriting workshops. They all have one thing in common: they want to sell their scripts to Hollywood or at least have their screenplays made into independent films. But where to start?

There are many scripts purchased every year by independent film production companies and studios. The popularity of certain genres rise and fall. At the American Film Market in November 2014, more thriller films were offered for sell than any other genre. Writers taking the next step in their screenwriting careers not only need to hone their craft, but also study and understand the script market.
