ABOUT THE WEBINAR
What is a Family Film? Is it a film about families? For families? Is it geared towards kids? Is it defined by the G and PG rating? In this seminar we will start by defining what constitutes a family film on a commercial basis, from the perspective of the producers and studios to the audiences and critics. We will then identify the structures, themes, characters and tropes that define the genre on the level of craft and art in order to assist the writing and development process.
As a development executive in family films, Pete Letz worked with writers, producers, directors, actors and studios in the family film development process. Now running his own management/production company he continues to seek out and develop broad appeal family projects.
