Happy Holidays from the Guild Screenings! We have a big sack of great movies, for all the writers who have been good this year.

We have the afterlife romance ETERNITY. The historical musical THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. The thrilling THE SECRET AGENT. The joyous tribute to music, THE CHORAL. And the return of everybody's favorite, SpongeBob, in THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SEARCH FOR SQUAREPANTS!

We also have a number of superb Q&As! On Friday, December 5, writer/director Craig Brewer will discuss his tribute to a Neil Diamond tribute band, SONG SUNG BLUE. On Sunday, December 7, co-writer Ronald Brownstein and co-writer/director Josh Safdie will appear with their wild sports tale, MARTY SUPREME. On Friday, December 19, we'll screen the highly-awaited AVATAR: FIRE & ASH, followed by a chat with co-writers Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver. Finally, on December 28, writer Rebecca Sonnenshine will discuss her psychological thriller THE HOUSEMAID.
