Hi, all

C-WIF is excited to invite you to a talk with recent alum Madeleine
Olnek.  Olnek is a writer/director (www.madeleineolnek.com) whose
first short comedy "Hold Up," was an official selection of Sundance
and the Los Angeles Film Festival in 2006. She is also a prolific
playwright whose works have been described by playwright Paula Vogel
as "incredible contemporary masterpieces" in American Theater
Magazine. Olnek is also one of the authors of "A Practical Handbook
for the Actor" (foreword by David Mamet).

Olnek’s thesis film, "Countertransference," for which she was awarded
the Adrienne Shelley Award for Best Female Director at the Columbia
Film Festival, was an official selection of Sundance 2009  and won the
Grand Jury award for Outstanding Dramatic Short at Outfest 2008.

Please join us next Friday, April 10th 1:30 PM in room 512, where
Madeleine will screen her work and discuss techniques for working with
actors, shooting on extremely low budgets, and navigating the festival
circuit.

It will be a great opportunity to learn how an emerging, independent
filmmaker and recent  CU alum is forging her own path
Hope to see you all there!

All the best,
Livi & Bora
