Screen Writing Art Camp with Gerry Garcia
July 14 to 18, 1 to 4 pm
Much of my career has been dedicated to discovering my voice and understanding who I am as a person to make my writing more compelling. This journey has not been a solitary one. Thanks to the unwavering support of my wonderful family, mentors, and colleagues, I have grown both personally and professionally, learning to channel my inner voice into my writing. My aim with this workshop is to pay it forward and help future writers find their inner voice. By providing students with a hands-on and engaging approach, I hope to inspire them to tell their own stories and pass them down to the next generation.
