NEW LEADERSHIP AT CFAA SCREENWRITERS LAB
The Capital Film Arts Alliance (CFAA) announces a new leadership team for their popular Screenwriters Lab program held every fourth Tuesday of the month at 1767 Tribute Rd #J, Sacramento CA 95815, starting at 7PM.
The new CFAA Screenwriting Lab leadership team is shifting the focus toward teaching the craft of screenwriting, reinforcing screenwriting skills, and modeling practical applications. While the Lab is limiting its focus, peer review will remain an important ingredient. Quoting Lab Director Todd Bull, “Our goal is to build on the outstanding work done by our organization.”
Heading up the new team is CFAA Board Member Todd Bull, who dons the role of CFAA Screenwriting Lab Director. Todd is an award-winning screenwriter with twenty years of experience in the field. Todd spent 26 years as an actor, director, and stage manager in regional theater productions throughout the West Coast.
Joining the team is Dawn Spinella, who will anchor screenwriting instruction in her role as CFAA Screenwriting Lab Education Director. Dawn’s skills are as varied as they are impressive. She justifiably calls herself the Swiss army knife of screenwriting and filmmaking. She writes, directs, produces, teaches and brews a mean espresso.
Rounding things up, Olivia Montgomery Bull is a current CFAA member and corporate sponsor. Now she will lend her skills as CFAA Screenwriting Lab Activities Director. Olivia joins the team as an award-winning screenwriter and best-selling author.
