Synapse to Screen 1.0 Conference

I’ll be speaking and presenting at the first annual Synapse to Screen Conference being held in conjunction with the Santa Fe Film Festival on Wednesday, December 3. The conference looks at media content creation tools, and pre-production and production tools.

I’ll be comparing tools like Celtx, Movie Magic Screenwriter and Final Draft, both from an outlining/brainstorming standpoint and from the actual scripting standpoint.

The full slate of presenters is still being put together, but it’ll be interesting to see how big an audience exists for an event focused on scripting, budgeting and scheduling tools.

Screenwriting Conference at Santa Fe – 2010

I’ll be returning to the Screenwriting Conference at Santa Fe, conducting another 3-day mentor session, in June 2010. This year we’re going to be more lab-focused. The Conference has been a lot of fun in the years I’ve been doing it, and I’ve been honored to have faculty colleagues like Kirk Ellis and Cynthia Whitcomb. If you’re looking to attend a screenwriting conference, this is a pretty nice one to be at.

Pre-order the new book!

End to End Game Development is now available on Amazon.  Scheduled release date is December 21, but I think we’re going to beat that by a few days.

Celtx scriptwriting program

Been playing around with Celtx (pronounced “kel-tex”), a free open source authoring program that combines scriptwriting, storyboarding, outlining, breakdown generation and more. I’ll probably write a lot more about this when I revive altscreenwriters.com later this year (one of my Fall projects).

Just hired at the College of Santa Fe

I’m pleased to say that I’ll be returning to the College of Santa Fe this Fall to teach undergraduate screenwriting in the Moving Image Arts Department.

A small private arts college in New Mexico, the College of Santa Fe is now entering a new chapter in its existence, having been adopted by Laureate Education, Inc., a private corporation operating college and university campuses outside of the U.S. — and now here in the U.S. as well.

This is something of a grand experiment, but I’m hoping that I’ll be part of redefining undergraduate media education here in Santa Fe — and that we’ll be forging a vision that looks to the future of media content creation.

Welcome to terryborst.com

Welcome to the newly refurbished terryborst.com (rolled my own HTML for my professional site since 1996; decided to finally switch over to a wordpress.com-hosted site).

You’ll get postings from me on new projects, speaking appearances, and other professional happenings. If you need to find out about my professional experience and endeavors, this is the place to be.

I’m still refining the site, and that’ll continue for a few weeks.
