FOX TV WRITING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
The Fox Entertainment Group (hereinafter
"Fox") announces a new chapter in its campaign to
identify and support promising writers from diverse backgrounds.
Since 2001, Fox has accepted submission of TV "spec"
scripts towards the selection of aspiring writers for a six-week
program at Writer's Boot Camp ("WBC")
in Los Angeles. As a part of the Boot Camp experience the
selected writers have written an additional "spec"
script under the supervision of WBC instructors and Fox Diversity
executives.
In the 2006 edition of Fox' writers outreach
we do not wish to receive "spec" material
based on series already on the air. In this new phase
of our program, we are soliciting submission of original television
pilot scripts.
Writers selected for this program will be
enrolled in a concentrated course at Writer's Boot Camp where
the writer will receive up to six months of instruction and
personal guidance from instructors and Fox Diversity executives.
During that time our hope will be to guide the writer through
drafts of their original pilot towards the goal of a top-quality
script that can be submitted to broadcast and cable networks
for pilot consideration.
We encourage all diverse writers with
a story to tell, or writers of any color with a diverse series
lead character in mind, to submit their scripts per the guidelines
described on the Writer’s Submission page on our website:
http://fox.com/diversity/
PLEASE NOTE: We will accept submissions from
March 15, 2006 through June 30, 2006. Submissions
must be postmarked no later than June 30, 2006. The deadline
for receiving submissions is July 7, 2006. Late
submissions will be returned unopened.
No phone calls, please. Submissions that do not meet
the guidelines as articulated on our website will be returned.

SIR! NO SIR!
produced by NALIP Board Member, Evangeline
Griego opens in LA and runs for two weeks
This rousing documentary details
the GI movement against the war in Vietnam. It flourished
in army stockades, navy brigs and dingy military base towns,
penetrated elite military colleges like West Point and spread
throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement
no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to
prison, thousands into exile and by 1971 it had infested the
entire armed services.
Join us for special Q&As with director, crew and vets
featured in the film THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY
nights after the 7:20pm show and before the 9:55
show in Santa Monica and THIS SUNDAY after the 2:45pm show,
and before and after the 5:35pm in Pasadena!
