	We talk to writer-performer NIA VARDALOS. Her one-woman show, MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, will soon be made into a motion picture		"Disney called me in for a meeting and told me they wanted to buy my idea. I was like, yeah, all right! Until they told me I wouldn't be in it."
	Robin Rea talks to Patrick Lynn, one of the producers of Sundance’s smash indie, BLOOD GUTS BULLETS & OCTANE.		"If somebody’s got the balls to make a movie, it deserves to be seen by somebody."
	Nicholl Fellowship Screenwriting Coordinator Greg Beal in an exclusive interview		"We look the for the best - the best writers, the best craft, the best Stories."
	Straight ouuta NYC, Women Make Movies Executive Director Debra Zimmerman reminds us, "In 1928, 25% of the screenwriters were women.		"It's just part and parcel of the problem that no matter what happens in Hollywood, it's never credited to be because it appeals to women... the military and the film industry are the toughest places for a woman, because both are closed, hierarchical systems."

	Linda Cowgill Screenwriter/Educator/Author of Writing Short Films		"There's big difference between people 'oohing' and 'ahhing' and taking the risk of hiring a new writer."
