10:00am-1:00pm
Join us for a Q&A and then a rousing discussion led by JMS as he details his career and tips about working in Hollywood.
JMS' movie "Changeling" starring Angelina Jolie was a critical and commercial smash. Directed by superstar Clint Eastwood, it details the true story about a shameful moment in Los Angeles history.
He currently has five films in production including "Lensman" for Academny Award winning director Ron Howard.
Emmy, Hugo, Saturn, Eisner and Bradbury Award Winner / BAFTA (British Academy Award) nominee.
In his nearly thirty-year career, JMS has worked for some of the top directors and producers in Hollywood. The breath and depth of his screenwriting and producing career is vast; but his skills extend even further into novels, short stories, comic books, journalism - just about anything and everything you can imagine a writer to be, he is.
Join us and the man Variety has called "the consumate professional." It's FREE! and EVERYONE'S WELCOME!
Networking! Swag! Giveaways! ZOMBIES? (not so much)

Another excellent guest!
Fantastic! I have followed his work since Babylon 5. The man is not only a consummate professional, he is also a damn good storyteller. I look forward to this eagerly. Thanks to Mark Sevi for creating this and so many other great opportunities.
Everyone! Pass the word!
It Takes a Village
Thanks, Jeff55 - appreciate the ego bump - but it takes a lot of people to run this org and they are the ones who do the most work. I just sit back and smile a lot.
We're very excited by JMS' appearance. I, like you, think he's an amazing guest.
Didn't mean to slight anyone!
This is a marvelous group! Mark's smiling face is the one I connect with it and thus think of him as "Fearless Leader". I am aware (and here's the shout out) of the work it takes and all the worker bees that contribute to get this kind of guest speaker. Thanks to everyone who contributes to creating these powerful presentations here behind the Orange Curtain.
Hmmmm. If the others are worker bees, does that make Mark the Queen? Nah!
Actually...
It's really all me, Jeff. The worthless others do nothing. I was just saying that other stuff to be magnanimous. I'm king of the world....!
Seriously, no slight was taken, I'm sure. I do have a lot to do with the org but it's the people who have stepped up to help that have made us what we are so far. We have a loooong way to go but with everyone's help we're gonna continue the good work that's been done and take it all to new levels. The support of people like yourself is at least as important as anything else so give yourself an attaboy too...
Queen - I like that band - Freddie Mercury rocked!
