In 2008, the Lab will run in Santa Fe, NM May 7 - 11, 2008, with a second session after scripts are rewritten from September 24 - 28, 2008, in Santa Monica, CA. <!--more--> Participants are chosen after submitting either a first draft developed from a treatment, or a polished script based on a rough draft for work during the program.
