HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: "The Dialogue: Learning from the Masters"

Mike De Luca knows a thing or two about screenwriting. While head of production at New Line, he developed such hits as The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Boogie Nights, Se7en, Wag the Dog, Magnolia and The Wedding Singer. As an independent producer he has two films out this year - 21 and the upcoming The Love Guru starring Mike Myers.

Jay A. Fernandez has been an entertainment journalist since 1996. Most recently he wrote the highly regarded "Scriptland" column for the Los Angeles Times before being hired away by The Hollywood Reporter.

Both De Luca and Fernandez host "The Dialogue: Learning from the Masters" - a DVD series featuring 27 of today's most successful screenwriters. In these 70 to 90-minute interviews, top writers share their personal experience and insight into both the process of screenwriting and of navigating one's way through the film industry. The combination of screenwriters of this caliber being interviewed by hosts this knowledgeable makes for a must-see mentoring experience for all aspiring writers.

The series was created by Aleks Horvat, who also created the Hollywood Creative Directory and owns theOffice (a popular creative workspace for writers in Santa Monica), along with his partner, personal manager Larry Shuman.
