The Loft Brings Robert McKee's Story Seminar to the Upper Midwest for the First Time

The Loft Literary Center in association with the Minnesota Film and TV Board, IFP Minnesota, The Playwrights' Center, The Screenwriters' Workshop, and MCTC, brings Robert McKee's world-famous Story Seminar to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

Running through four intense days (Wed, Sep 29 - Sat, Oct 2, 2010), Robert McKee's course teaches you the principles involved in the art and craft of screenwriting and story design, and proves the essence of good story is unchanging and universal. Whether on the big screen, on television, in novels, on stage and in ALL creative work, everything works in the shadow of classic story design.

Robert McKee's seminar sells out worldwide and actors, writers and directors often travel to attend it. Don't miss your chance to learn from one of the masters of storytelling!
