Event Date: Friday, April 5, 2019 || Starts at 6:30 pm  || Co-sponsoring with Jennifer Grisanti and Final Draft.

Friday Night Social is a networking group that meets the first Friday of every month. It started as a way for TV and feature writers to meet one another and has evolved into so much more. This is a great way to “Network”. Plan on meeting people from different areas and levels in the entertainment industry.

This networking event is on a first name basis and everyone will receive a name tag with their first name only, this is best for the more established professional entertainers to maintain their anonymity which will allow them to network as well.

MORE INFORMATION:

This month’s Friday Night Social is being held at The District By Hannah An. Please join Jennifer Grisanti, Final Draft and The Scriptwriters Network at this location for this month’s Friday Night Social “Networking” event.

Intricately handcrafted to transport guests into Vietnam’s sensational past, The District by Hannah An is unlike any Vietnamese restaurant in the U.S. Before entering, guests are awestruck from the street by the Hoi An room, where Edison lights emit a welcoming glow reminiscent of the bustling “Lantern Town.” Let’s step inside.

What could easily couple as a museum, Hannah An’s newest creation delivers an authentic Vietnamese experience. From the manor home’s century-old doors to its patinated mirrors, no detail has been overlooked. But the design is just one part of her full orchestra.

Simply stated, Hannah has created an environment that thrives on harmony. The sounds of laughter enhance the room’s energy, which bolsters the mood in the kitchen, where food is prepared and dished with love, which is enjoyed by those same jovial guests. Repeat. Everything is part of and a distinct reflection of everything.

Event starts at 6:30 pm – Ends at 9:30 pm

The District By Hannah An

Immersive Storytelling: Writing VR Scripts with Evette Vargas

Event Date: Saturday, February 16, 2019 || Speaker: Evette Vargas || Check-in: 12:30 pm ||

In immersive storytelling, worlds come to life in dramatically different ways than in traditional storytelling. Audiences can adopt varying perspectives, sometimes becoming protagonists, antagonists, and other characters. In VR, audiences step into the story and can interact with characters and objects inside of the virtual world. But, how do you write the script? In this lecture, Evette Vargas will introduce you to the Immersiveplay scriptwriting elements, which she developed for Final Draft. Vargas will explain the differences between traditional and immersive scriptwriting and discuss why immersive scriptwriting is relevant to your writing career.

Evette Vargas is an award-winning writer, director, producer and immersive storyteller. Named by the New York Times as an “Artist to Watch,” Vargas’ work includes series for Amazon, MTV, Bravo, DirectTV; and interactive content for Fast And Furious, Lord Of The Rings trilogy and Madonna. Vargas exec produced, wrote and directed her digital series Dark Prophet , starring Henry Rollins, which was in contention for two Emmys and premiered at Sundance. Vargas has currently set up her drama series Tinacious at MGM Television. Marc Guggenheim and Rosario Dawson are serving as Executive Producers. Vargas wrote and is set to direct The Current War VR Experience as a companion piece for the film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Vargas is penning the Mix Master Mike feature biopic for Impossible Dream Entertainment.

Vargas created the Immersiveplay, the industry standard for immersive scriptwriting for Final Draft and has spoken at the Cannes Film Festival on VR Storytelling. A member of the Writers Guild of America, Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and Producers Guild of America, Vargas was born in the Bronx and learned to tell stories at the dinner table where the imagination ruled. Vargas kick boxes; collects action figures, typewriters and shoes; has past lives as a DJ, a fashion designer, and is a recovering New York City advertising Art Director.
