The Weinstein Company and Writers Guild of America, East
invite you and a guest to a screening ofTHE IMITATION GAME Followed by a Q&A with screenwriter Graham Moore Moderated by Scott Silver (8 Mile, The Fighter) 
RSVP
Tuesday, November 18, 8:30pm Tuesday, November 18, 8:30 p.m. The Beekman Theatre 1271 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10065 As a courtesy to Mr. Moore, please do not RSVP to this event unless you are available to stay for the Q&A --------------- During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of ‘gross indecency’, an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality – little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. Directed by Morten Tyldum with a screenplay by Graham Moore, the film stars BenedictCumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Allen Leech, Matthew Beard, Charles Dance and Mark Strong. --------------- WGAE members and one guest are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes early. Screenings are overbooked to compensate for no shows. This invitation is non-transferable. Please bring your WGAE card and photo ID for admittance. No cameras allowed and no recording permitted. Violation of this prohibition is subject to civil and criminal liabilities. | |||

| The Writers Guild of America, East invites you and a guest to attend: Branching Out - Screenwriters Writing Plays and Novels A talk with Jeff Baron DATE: March 11, 2014 TIME: 6:30pm EST LOCATION: Writers Guild of America, East (250 Hudson Street) RSVP HERE If you've ever thought about branching out from screenwriting, Jeff Baron can tell you about his experience doing so, as a screenwriter who is also a much-produced playwright and a novelist. His four original screenplays were all optioned by major Hollywood studios and his TV credits include "The Tracey Ullman Show," "Sisters, Almost Grown (David Chase)," "A Year in the Life" and multiple projects for Nickelodeon. His play "Visiting Mr. Green" is one of the most produced plays in the past 15 years, with over 500 productions in 42 countries, and his plays "When I Was Five," "Mothers Day" and "Mr. & Mrs. God" have international lives as well. His first novel "I Represent Sean Rosen" was published by HarperCollins last March, and is now in its second printing. His follow-up novel "Sean Rosen Is Not for Sale" will be published in March 2014. Using examples from his work, Jeff will speak about the differences among the forms in terms of the role of the writer, the ownership of the project, the craft, the collaborative process, the contract and ownership of one's work, how to get your work seen, and how and how much writers are paid. He'll talk about the effect on writers of recent changes in the businesses of publishing, theatre, television and film.  | |||
