Daily posts from Bee writers on movies, theater, media, fashion, music and pop culture.


Ever been inspired to write a script about our fair city? If you have been, but weren't sure how to put it all into words, there's help.

As part of its "A Place Called Sacramento" program, Access Sacramento will offer the workshop "Writing a Practical, 'Do-able' Script." Running 9 a.m. to noon April 5, the workshop will focus on the logistics of making a film for "A Place Called Sacramento," which asks local filmmakers to shoot 10-minute shorts.

In other words, the workshop will instruct screenwriters on how to fashion a script that incorporates Sacramento themes without requiring George Lucas' help with special effects.

The deadline for final scripts is noon April 16. A panel will choose 10 finalists, who then will be paired with actors and a crew. Their finished products will premiere in October at the Crest Theatre.

For more information on the workshop, call 456-8600 and hit "0". For a scriptwriting entry form, go to the Access Sacramento site.
