THE
WORLD HAS CHANGED.
Or have we changed the world? As writers and content
creators, change is the very fabric of our existence.
As storytellers, our charge is to engage the audience
with tales of characters overcoming obstacles that
result in purposeful change. Regardless of genre,
from international thrillers to intimate portraits
of personal transformation, our stories offer visceral
validation of who we are, or who we are not, or who
we most aspire to be.
For
those involved in writing, developing, or producing
stories for the commercial marketplace, the trends
of tomorrow are being shaped by four factors today:
Science, Technology, Creativity and Consciousness.
Whether it be for books, video games, film & TV
or Podcasts, and regardless of genre, one irrefutable
truth remains absolute: story must transcend technology
if it’s to have any lasting value.
Digitainment
is extending the reach of storytellers. Coupled
with a heightened mainstream interest in consciousness
and spirituality, as evidenced by the popularity
of The Da Vinci Code, or movies such as
What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?, National
Treasure and Pay It Forward, and the
prospects for affecting inclusive, positive change
through our fiction and nonfiction in this growing
global market is like never before.
The
SCWC has empowered writers with the vital tools
for getting to market for 19 years, having facilitated
nearly $3 million in book and screen deals. This
year in Los Angeles we explore the trends, technology
and future of creative convergence. In Los Angeles,
we explore the potential of possibility
