Members
Welcome to your Guild Screenings!
Woof, it’s hot out there! Come on into your Writers Guild Theater this August and cool off with a great movie! We’ve got another deep bench of diverse titles. From big studio movies like THE END OF OAK STREET, THE DOG STARS and COYOTE VS. ACME to a slew of amazing indies worth seeing on the big screen, like the sublime LATE FAME, the offbeat Anthony Bourdain biopic TONY, the inventively terrifying IT ENDS or writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s latest wild skewering of genre, TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, The Guild Screenings has something for you!
We also have a bunch of exciting Q&A events with your fellow screenwriters. On Saturday, August 8th at 4pm, we’re screening the twisted rom com ONE NIGHT ONLY, followed by a conversation with writer Travis Braun. On Sunday, August 16 at 5pm, you won’t want to miss a very special 20th Anniversary screening of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, with legendary screenwriter Michael Arndt on hand to discuss his now classic, dysfunctional family comedy. Later in the month, on August 29th at 4pm, writer Marjorie David will join us to discuss her work on the deeply felt drama READING LOLITA IN TEHRAN. Finally, on Sunday, August 30th at 1pm, we’ll be screening the latest in the wildly popular Spiderman franchise, SPIDERMAN: BRAND NEW DAY, followed by a Q&A with writers Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.
Remember to check the website often for additional updates!
As always, ALL MOVIES ARE FREE FOR MEMBERS! Plus, you can bring TWO GUESTS to all general screenings. You get THREE GUESTS at all Family Matinees. Seating is first come, first served. No RSVP needed. And parking is free – we validate!
