Participants will build and expand their skills continuously as we explore every aspect of game development. From basic blueprints and interactive mechanics, to advanced rigging, animation, environment design, and lighting, we'll work our way up to creating small complete games. We encourage experimentation and peer teaching, so whether you're a beginner or experienced developer looking to deepen your expertise, our sessions provide a supportive environment to learn, create, and innovate together in Unreal Engine 5.

Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/95698542665This weekly online meetup welcomes veteran screenwriters and rookies alike to read some of the best pro spec scripts out there and discuss them. Together we read through mind blowing and inspiring screenplays from the annual Black List, Nicholl Fellowship, Hit List, Blood List, Cannes List and Sundance Lab as well as unproduced gems from Hollywood studio archives, occasionally followed by a live Q&A with the writer.
This meetup works sort of like a book club for great screenplays. Be sure to read the script and then join us on Discord or Zoom to discuss it in-depth.

Upcoming schedule:
(FEB 26) KUNG FU PANDA by Jonathan Aibel & Glenn Berger. Animated Comedy. Threatened by a gang of snow leopards, the jungle animals call upon an inept panda to become a kung fu master and save the Valley of Peace.
(Mar 5) FORBIDDEN FRUITS by Meredith Alloway & Lily Houghton. Featured on the 2023 Black List. Free People employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours with fellow fruits Cherry and Fig. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges their ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate. Based on Lily Houghton’s stage play: Of The Woman Came The Beginning Of Sin And Through Her We All Die. Following a compelling cold open hook, this well-written stage play adaptation keeps the reader turning pages by raising questions, a refreshing take on tired old tropes.
(Mar 19) WHAT WE BECOME by Amy Jo Johnson. Erotic thriller. Featured on the 2022 Black List. A successful author/wife/mother plans a trip to a bucolic island to crack her next book and finds herself in a surprising situation.

(Apr 2) THE DECAMERON by Kathleen Jordan. One-hour pilot. Set in 1348. The Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence. A handful of nobles are invited to retreat with their servants to a grand villa in the Italian countryside and wait out the pestilence with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp in the hills of Tuscany descends into an all out scramble for survival.
