A life changing experience

On Tuesday March 24th CineStory brings its exclusive Thematic event to Los Angeles. So what exactly is a Thematic and how does it affect a writer’s work?

‘I spent many years searching for my themes in the world around me, waiting for some light bulb to go off – never considering that everything I needed to write was already lurking insider me. CineStory taught me to listen to myself, to look inward and identify my own themes and obsessions, which are deeply woven into our experiences, our memories, probably even our DNA!’
– Mark Fergus (CHILDREN OF MEN, IRON MAN) on the importance of Thematic

Jodie Foster’s producer and the writer of CHILDREN OF MEN and IRON MAN are among the professionals who will help you to discover the core Thematic at the heart of all your work. You may not know yet what your Thematic is, but once you do it will change the way you approach storytelling forever.

Only 45 writers will have the chance to participate in this intimate program, so reserve your place now.

Tickets are $45 general admission and $35 students/alumni, available through our website shortly. In the meantime, to reserve your seat contact: info@cinestory.org
