has been invited to speak at a panel discussion on THE STATE OF SCREENWRITING IN SEATTLE. McDonald will be in attendance representing 911 MEDIA ARTS CENTER, where he teaches a workshop on the craft of story structure.
In addition to co-writing the script for Mrs. Baker, McDonald is serving as co-producer of the film, and has recently locked picture on his short film White Face. White Face is a fake documentary exploring the discrimantions that clowns might face if they were an actual race of people. The film will be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival at the end of September in addition to having a local screening here in Seattle in Mid-October.
Area writers and producers will discuss the present state of the screenwriting community in Seattle and what steps the community should take to foster and progress its success.
