Jim Burnstein, Director of Screenwriting Program, University of Michigan
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “This would make a great movie!”—and thought you might like to do something about it—here’s your chance to pitch your story to an accomplished writer who has taken his own story ideas to the finish line. Whether it’s an original narrative that hit you out of the blue, a true story that happened to somebody you know, or a great book that somehow never found its way to the silver screen—all you need for this special pitch session is a couple of sentences that capture your idea, and Michigan-based Hollywood screenwriter Jim Burnstein (“Renaissance Man,” “D3: The Mighty Ducks”) will help you develop your movie kernel, and explain how you can take it from there.
