Poet James Stevenson once wrote that "Front yards are boring. Backyards tell stories." Harvey Ovshinsky is both an educator and a popular motivational speaker with a life-long passion for helping others find their own 'backyard' story.
Among Harvey's upcoming presentations, workshops, and seminars:
 INTRODUCTION TO SCREENWRITING: A WEEKEND WORKSHOP is designed for writers and non-writers alike: students, journalists, media educators, aspiring film and video directors and producers, and anyone else who has ever wanted to write a movie script but lacked the basic skills, experience, or strategy to complete the job. The next workshop is at The Community House of Birmingham on June 5 and 6, 2010. The cost is $300. Click here for more details.
NOTE: The next rounds of Harvey’s monthly screenwriters support group, HOW TO WRITE YOUR FIRST MOVIE SCRIPT IN SIX MONTHS, begin in September, 2010. Venues are in Grosse Pointe, Ann Arbor, and Birmingham.
 IF YOU CAN WRITE IT, YOU CAN SHOOT IT! This guide to video storytelling is for professional and student journalists interested in making the transition from print and radio reporting to video production, as well as for broadcast and multi-media professionals and corporate and non-profit communicators eager to hone their storytelling skills. Harvey’s emphasis is less on the technology of video production and more on how to think like a producer in order to tell a story. The next workshop is at The Community House of Birmingham on June 12 and 13, 2010. The cost is $300. Click here for more details.
 HOW TO PRODUCE A CAREER IN FILM AND VIDEO PRODUCTION is a three-hour presentation offering practical advice for students and others new to the industry. It's also a highly motivational refresher course for anyone struggling mid career and wants help polishing and honing their survival skills. This is a free seminar that will be presented in the fall. Details to follow.
