Hi, this is Ben. I just want to remind you before we begin this episode that you can still secure a place in the Michelangelo screenwriting program in Italy. And if you are a screenwriter or television writer or comic book writer or really any kind of writer, this is really a fantastic opportunity to come to Italy for a lot cheaper than usually would.

Stay in a beautiful spot in Orvieto, Italy, and hang out and workshop your scripts with me and my writing partner and a whole group of people and come out with

something really awesome after two weeks. There's also a one week intensive course, but we promise

you'll have a great showable script that you can bring to an agent or manager or network or whatever you want to do.

So check out Michelangelo Screenwriting.com.

The program is this July, or June, rather, and runs right to the beginning of July.

But you have to sign up now, or else it's not going to happen.

We have a bunch of signups.

We just need a couple more.

So join Michelangelo Screenwriting.com.

It should be awesome.

I'm really looking forward to it.

And I'm going to hopefully workshop some of my own stuff, as is Acker and some of the

stuff that we're doing together.

So it should be a really fun and instructive opportunity.
