The standard answer to the question of relocating to Los Angeles is: Yes, do it. While there are advantages in making the move, it’s not the right choice for everyone. For those mulling over this question or wanting to learn ways to break in as a screenwriter while not living in L.A., this panel comprised of writers who have lived and worked in Hollywood will address key issues related to: L.A. … or not?

This panel is presented by DePaul University School of Cinematic Arts.
