Masterclasses in Paris and London

John Turturro is best known for his roles in Coen brothers films. However, he is currently more active as a writer and director. To coincide with the release of the down-and-dirty musical "Romance and Cigarettes", he will be presenting a masterclass at the Screen on the Hill in London on March 23. This is being organised by The Script Factory and Icon. For details, visit ScriptFactory.

Over in Paris, Robert McKee will be giving his celebrated "Story" seminar between April 20 and 23. According to the organisers, Dixit, some 35% of the inscriptions are from producers or TV channel execs - which sounds interesting in itself. For further details, visit Dixit
