0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's me, Ben Blacker, the moderator and the creator of this thing. Happy New Year. Thanks for listening. I just want to fill you in on a couple of interesting opportunities for writers. The most important and the coolest by far is this one. It's the Michelangelo Screenwriting program. My writing partner, Ben Acker, and I have
0:23.0	been invited to teach at this program, which takes a handful of students every year. It's pretty
0:29.9	competitive. There's room for, I think, 10 or 14 students to come to Italy and will workshop your screenplays, your TV specs, your comic
0:41.6	book scripts, whatever you have.
0:43.9	We'll do kind of an intensive workshopping of these things along with some kind of more
0:48.6	structured classes and you'll come out with something that you should be ready to show, whether it's to get you an agent or to just go sell the goddamn thing.
0:58.4	It's the Michelangelo Screenwriting Program.
1:01.2	It's in June, but registration is running right now.
1:04.7	And it's a really cool thing.
1:07.7	I hope you guys will at least check it out.
1:10.2	Go to Michelangelo screenwriting.com.
1:14.6	Michelangelo spelled the way you think it is. Michaelangelo screenwriting.com. Check out the program.
1:21.0	Acker and I worked on that and, you know, we also want to know what you guys want to do.
1:26.6	Once you sign up, you know, we can kind of work things around to make it how everybody wants it.
1:32.3	But please check that out, Michelangelo Screenwriting.com.
1:36.3	The other thing is, I think there, as of this podcast, there are a few more days to enter the Austin TV Festival pitch competition, which is exactly
1:47.2	what it sounds like. Go to ATXFestival.com and check that out. And you know, you pitch stuff
1:57.9	and they'll choose the winners. And then you pitch in front of some for real
2:02.3	TV creators like Bill Lawrence and Liz Tiggle are and some other really cool people who
2:07.0	have all appeared on this panel for the most part so check out that ATX pitch competition
2:14.6	it's at ATX festival.com there's some fun videos on there, too, with some
2:18.9	tips about pitching. I think that is all other than to say thank you for listening to this podcast.
