The February Newsletter is out! Did you know NWASWC sends out a monthly newsletter about our Collective, local film events, and opportunities for our writers? They have a “Screenwriter Spotlight” where they highlight Members and their screenplays. New and more content is being planned for 2025 that will promote the stories, structure, and sale of screenplays in NWA and the River Valley.
Anyone can receive the newsletter! No need to be a member or a screenwriter. They encourage local indie film directors, producers, and investors to get on their mailing list and stay informed and updated on the stories available from our screenwriters. Or, if you are just curious about writing for film and television, you may signup through their website.
At ACS, we believe that if we provide filmmakers an arena to exhibit their talents, and film enthusiasts a healthy diet of quality programming, we can inspire more Arkansans to make and watch more films. By supporting filmmakers, festivals, theaters and young people interested in filmmaking throughout the state, we hope to create statewide network, pool Arkansas’s resources and be an umbrella organization that feeds all things film. We believe a rising tide lifts all boats.
To be a filmmaker, we have to connect to create. A painter needs a brush, paint and a canvas. A director needs a writer, a cinematographer, a sound mixer, production designer, editor, actors, distributors, and an audience. We cannot do it alone. This art form forces one to collaborate and thus, creates jobs. Filmmaking is unique in the arts in this way. It takes an army.
