Screenwriter Karaoke is just what it sounds like, but perhaps slightly cooler: Karaoke for Screenwriters.
Think of it as a way to let your hair down. It is a little known secret that screenwriters love karaoke. Originally born from the head of screenwriter Merrel Davis, he felt there must be a more fun and boisterous way to network, all while having a good time.
Looking for a collaborative writing partner with a knack for 17th Century English? Reach out before belting These Boots Were Made for Walking. Oww! Need a no-nonsense DP with a good reel? Woo them with your manly rendition of Sweet Transvestite. Needs some coverage on your latest romantic comedy? Break out some Pink Floyd.
Is this only for screenwriters?
No! In fact, the event usually brings a mix of writers, actors, editors and various other filmmaking peers. If you are looking to connect with somebody, for say, a short film. There is no better place to begin than Screenwriter Karaoke!
But… There are 5 million other networking events for writers and filmmakers already.
That’s not really a question but, right you are! However these environments can sometimes be awkward. In networking portions of an event you often have to mill around, wait for a break in conversation and interject. It’s hit or miss. Screenwriter Karaoke aims to be a more informal way to get to know your peers and counterparts and hopefully make a connection!
