From Student to Screenwriter
Screenwriting Workshop with Watchman writer Alex Tse
Sunday, May 16, 2010
1-4 PM
The path of a screenwriter isn't always a straight one. Putting stuff to the page is the only beginning of a long process. So how do you get your screenplay noticed? In a one day workshop, Alex Tse, the screenwriter behind Watchmen, hands out tips on how to get your script into the right hands and on screen.
@The Workshop
110-112 West 27th Street, Sixth Floor
Between 6th and 7th Avenues
Alex Tse was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, left the nest and attended Emerson College in Boston, MA, where, in addition to playing NCAA Basketball, he discovered, or rather, admitted, his passion for film. After graduating in 1998, Tse made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles, bouncing around from temp jobs to gigs producing and promoting low budget music videos before an executive at Disney gave him a break and set him up with a literary manager.
Besides Watchmen, Tse has several other projects with Warner Bros. including another collaboration with Watchmen director Zack Snyder adapting Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man and an adaptation of the Anime Ninja Scroll, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Tse was also the Writer and Co-Executive Producer of the Spike Lee directed Sucker Free City, an original movie for Showtime for which he won a PEN Award. Currently, Tse is writing two projects for Paramount Pictures: The Winter of Frankie Machine for director Michael Mann, starring Robert De Niro, and Battling Boy with Plan B.
