Does anyone have a recommendation for a great evening/weekend screenwriting class (film or TV) in LA or NYC that has you finish a draft of something by the end of it?

Just saw "Jaws" for the first time (!) at a local theater and now I'm reading the script. It's interesting to see what was changed in the final shoot - you can really see what they were trying to accomplish in a scene by reading what they tried first (this is actually at least the third draft I know of, probably more like the 100th). http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Jaws.txt

I know this is old news but I'm on p. 70 of Justin Marks' "Earth Prime" and I'm loving it so hard. I can't believe no one bought this - maybe because the budget would have been 80 quadrillion dollars.

Thinking about this more, if there was one thing I'd change, I'd slow it down a notch in Act II. The pace is so frenetic, and the body count so high, that I come out of it only feeling about 3/4 of the emotion I should be. I'd maybe swap one of those big set pieces (maybe the showdown with the skinhead's brother since I don't think that subplot adds very much) and add in another scene like the one with Bijou in the bathroom, or maybe somehow extend that one.

Just finished "When the Street Lights Go On." It's beautifully written and a hell of a page turner, but there's a certain thinness to the story. Reminds me of "The Virgin Suicides" in that way (and obviously in other ways too). Still, I'd pay to see it, I think.

NSFW had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I forgot I was reading a screenplay! Felt super short though?

Still looking for scripts from Castle seasons 2 and 3. Anyone have anything at all? All I've got are season 1. P&T!

Reading the pilot for "The Killing" right now. This script handles expository dialogue really, really well.

bet they aren't allowed to distribute original dvd in US. Available in UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Killing-DVD-Jonas-Leth-Hansen/dp/B004KKPQMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302731496&sr=8-1

So excited for MORE AS THE STORY DEVELOPS. That script is everything a pilot should be.
