Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support the 2009 Festival of New Works! It was a HUGE success!

Now that it's over, we encourage you to fill out a response so we can know what you loved, what you hated, and how to make this thing even better next year. Response forms can be found at the front desk on the 7th floor.

Also, did you miss our "Cinema of Dread" horror movie panel with the WGAE? Check it out online at http://www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13/blog/cinema-of-dread-screenwriters-discuss-the-horror-film/422
