In March of 2010, Geoffrey Fletcher won the Academy Award for Best
Adapted Screenplay for PRECIOUS. The film was greeted as both an
artistic, and a popular, success. Barbara Bush hailed the movie,
saying "If I were to give out a homework assignment, it would be
this: go see the movie!" A.O. Scott praised Fletcher's "risky,
remarkable film adaptation . . . It howls and stammers, but it also
sings."
Fletcher has just made his debut as a film director with Violet
& Daisy, for which he also wrote the screenplay. He is
currently working on a film about the 1971 Attica prison rebellion.
 Renowned independent film producer Ted Hope will
speak with Fletcher. Hope's many notable films
include The Wedding Banquet (Ang Lee), Eat Drink Man
Woman (Ang Lee), The Brothers McMullen, Happiness (Todd
Solondz), In the Bedroom, The Ice Storm, The Laramie Project (Moises Kaufman), American Splendor, 21 Grams, and The Savages.
Hope is also a superb writer and speaker about film. Ted Hope will be hosting a master class on producing Indie film along with Christine Vachon on November 5. Register at http://killerhope-pr.eventbrite.com/
