I'm busy with being a trainor-mentor for basic film scriptwriting at ABS-CBN's Star Cinema, and loving it!<br /><br />I was among the 1st Star Cinema Screenwriting Scholars trained by the company in 2004 and was absorbed in the Concept Development Group in 2005-2006. It feels so good to be able to share all those learnings with the new batch. Mentoring has always been a passion for me, even as an editor for creative prose. Doing this for film scriptwriting is another new and exciting adventure.<br /><br />I am working with writers as young as 20 and as mature as 53! Imagine the rich dynamics of the team and all the learning I am gaining, as well. Each session with the group and with individuals always leave me exhilirated and eager for the next.<br /><br />My other writing projects in progress may be coming in slower because of my preoccupation but I firmly believe it is all for the better. Each area of writing can only be further enriched by the others. For me, mentoring is as much a part of my creative process as the actual writing.<br /><br />Now please excuse me as I have storylines to read and enjoy...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4812455543517442137-5791508706108208432?l=maia-jose.blogspot.com'/></div>Mnoreply@blogger.com0
