Nashville, Tenn.—June 7, 2007—Nearly three dozen Hollywood executives and celebrities traveled to Nashville this past weekend for the Ninth Annual Nashville Screenwriters Conference (NSC), June 1-3 at the Union Station Hotel. Representatives from New Line Cinema, Miramax Films, Dreamworks, Lionsgate, HBO, TNT, Fox, 821 Entertainment, Neophonic, Kifaru Productions, William Morris, CAA, United Talent Agency, Variety magazine and “Access Hollywood” were in attendance, along with some of the industry’s biggest screenwriters, producers and actors. The three day conference included panel discussions on writing teams, music in the movies, several detailed discussions on screenwriting, writing for the documentary, pitching a screenplay or script and two premiere screenings (HBO’s “Big Love” and TNT’s “Saving Grace”). The weekend also included a VIP Silver Screen Party in which attendees were treated to a great meal, refreshments and world-class singer-songwriters in the round (Jim Lauderdale, John Hiatt, Kim Richey, Mindy Smith and Mary Gauthier). Attendees are still raving and NSC board members have already begun the planning process for next year, the 10th anniversary for NSC.
