Join guest speaker JENNY SULLIVAN in conversation with local writer Glenn Schiffman about writing for the screen, stage and page. Based in Los Angeles, Jenny's directed and acted in plays in SoCal and on the East Coast and has also written and directed films, including one starring her actor-dad Barry Sullivan. She made the film "Access All Areas" -- based on her experiences as a 1970s rock star's wife (co-written with Glenn) -- which was produced by the American Film Institute's Women's Directing program. Glenn later adapted this short script as a chapter in his just-published "fictionalized autobiography" about his own 1970s backstage rock'n'roll experiences.

The script and novel chapter will be compared, and the short film (30 minutes) will be screened. Jenny and Glenn will also discuss the differences and similarities between writing plays, screenplays and novels, and answer your questions.
