Dramatica Mail (D-Mail)

 

The Dramatica Users Group—FREE!
(Upcoming Schedule)

The Dramatica Users Group (DUG) meets from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month at the Write Brothers OFFICE LOCATION in BURBANK, CA. The meetings are held in the Write Brothers classroom in Suite H. (Click here for Schedule.)

This group is open to all and offers a chance to have any and all your Dramatica questions answered face to face. It's also a place to hear of all the latest and greatest Dramatica developments, and most importantly it is a place to see Dramatica in action.

The centerpiece of every Users Group meeting is the story breakdown. Every month we break down a popular story to see how one would approach such a work using Dramatica. Users are invited to review the story beforehand and to try coming up with a Dramatica storyform on their own. At the meetings, Screenplay Systems will present its storyform and everyone will learn from the exchange and following discussions. No reservations required. Location Information


The topic for the February meeting will be:

Win Win

The film will be screened at 5:00 PM before the meeting.
