Arts in McNairy…Taking Aim on the Arts
Dr. Lewis Hunter is a screenwriting professor at
UCLA; not surprisingly, one of the top universities for
film studies in the world. Dr. Hunter has been a
creative executive at Disney, Buena Vista and other
entertainment industry powerhouses, and is one of
the few educators who is also a working
screenwriter. He has extended his teaching skills
beyond the university setting by authoring,
Screenwriting 434, a best-selling book on how to
write scripts, and also traveling with his wife, Pamela,
conducting screenwriting workshops around the
globe. Now he is coming to McNairy County!
Teaming up with Dr. Hunter is former student, Sherri
Sanders, who has recently re-located home to
McNairy County from Los Angeles. Sherri holds an
MFA from UCLA in Theatre Arts with a screenwriting
emphasis. She has worked in production, as well as
script consulting for major studios. She has recently
optioned “Miss Scarecrow Blues, a jazzy, southern
family drama about how a young girl’s stubborn
streak and strong faith helped her to overcome some
major life battles.
The two will be conducting the screenwriting
workshop on Nov. 2, 3 & 4th. The workshop is co-
sponsored by Arts in McNairy, and UTM
Selmer/McNairy, who will play host to the event.
Both beginning and seasoned writers will find it
helpful. The workshop, which has been informally
dubbed, “A Week-end with Lew”, will include the Sat.
and Sun. Workshops for only $175, and $10.00 for a
Friday evening Mixer and a Basic Story talk from 6:00
PM to 10:00 PM. Sherri will also be available for
follow-up coaching and further script development.
Ask for more information at the workshop. Sherri
Sanders is the contact person.
