Rhode Island International Film Festival

The Rhode Island International Film Festival, a production of the Flickers Arts Collaborative, produces a day-long Screenwriting Conference called ScriptBiz? during the week of their annual film festival. It is a full day of developed interactive and informational workshops for aspiring or established screenwriters looking to hone and harness their craft. It not only expounds upon the creative process of writing a successful screenplay, but also on the delicate art of promoting to filmmakers through effective networking and a compelling pitch. Attendees of ScriptBiz? receive a full day of intensive training and shared knowledge from award-winning filmmakers, directors, producers, actors, writers, and scriptwriters. ScriptBiz? 2006 was thematically focused on how to effectively build bridges: between New England and Hollywood and between the art and business of screenwriting.
