What is it?
We're looking forward to taking AZ film to the next level in 2017!
We'll be hosting a rousing discussion on best panelists, workshops, and information you'd like to see in the coming year. Be on the ground level to help set our agenda for 2017.
Kicking off the Convention will be a dissection of short film and the screening of two shorts: "A King's Betrayal" and "A Mirage of Zabul Province." Topics include:
- How to decide the subject of your short film.
- Reasons for making a short film as opposed to a feature length.
- What do you do with your short film after it is finished.
- Are short films marketable?
- How to choose and submit your short film to a festival

WRITER
Mirage at Zabul Province
As a screenwriter, Philip was hired to write the award-winning short film "Mirage at Zabul Province" for director Nathan Bettisworth. Additionally, he has written six work-for-hire screenplays all of which are in various stages of industry shopping. His screenplays have taken honors in the Academy sponsored Nicholl Fellowship, and won a number of festivals including the Oscar-qualifying Rhode Island International Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival, and most recently the Burbank Film Festival.
And also in the most "recent" category, Grisel Wilson brought Philip onboard to work with her on a rewrite of her screenplay, "Ixmucané Pastor."
