Ricky Lee Script Writing Workshop

I really wanted to sleep already but I slept yesterday afternoon until Jep came in at home at around 9PM. He came with my swimming trunks which are loose already (and I currently can't remember where I placed it) and with my books. Like Water for Chocolate, Through a Glass, Darkly and After Dark. After Dark! My Murakami books are coming back.

Anyway, it's not the point why I'm writing right now. I found this commercial/casting call for aspiring scriptwriters for TV and film last week. It's a writing workshop led by the Ricky Lee. He's the one who wrote the script for the classic film Himala starring Nora Aunor. He was also able to write fiction novels like Para Kay B (his only book which I was able to read) and Si Amapola sa 65 na Kabanata. Ricky Lee is a playwright, a novelist and a scriptwriter.

So, when I saw the commercial about the workshop, I copied on my phone the link where we can inquire about the workshop (scriptwriterscaravan.abs-cbn.com). The commercial said that application is from June 9 to July 6.


I decided I will give it a try. But something happened. I was not yet paying attention to the workshop and was planning to attend to it after I'm done enrolling when I received this email in my gmail account.

They contacted me already even without me contacting them. I think this has something to do with me heading the writers' pool last Live A.I.D.S. 28.

I was overwhelmed by the email and I decided to arrange my portfolio as soon as I cleared my deficiencies in my enrollment.

I hope I'll get in in this scriptwriting workshop. Ricky Lee as a mentor ain't bad after all.
