  • Cullowhee goes Hollywood! by Margaret Hester WCnewsmagazine Thanks to Terry Curtis Fox, a famous screenwriter and producer, WCU will have some of the Hollywood benefits. For those of you who are not familiar with Terry Curtis Fox, he has worked on many different projects, including Hill Street Blues, Diagnosis Murder, JAG, The Agency and many more. Some may wonder why such a famous person would be in Cullowhee. WCU has worked out a deal to have Fox teach a semester of classes on screenwriting. Along with the classes, he has also agreed to give lectures on screenwriting. This all is in preparation of two new majors WCU is to be offering in the Fall 2005 semester: Motion Picture and TV, and Motion Picture and TV Studies. Elizabeth Addison, head of the English Department is thrilled, along with others, to have Fox here for the spring semester. Terry C. Fox.

During this lecture, Fox discussed the creation of characters in movies and on TV, along with changes these characters may go through. He also explained the different ways that writers come up with ideas and the different roles of the types of writers on a staff. What | want students to do is to write from their experiences, not from what theyve seen in the movies, Fox said. Other informational facts Fox gave were what is expected of Hollywood writers. Fox also gave his opinion on some of the other aspects of Hollywood, such as pay. After viewing Diagnosis Murder episode No Good Deed, for which Fox was credited as a writer, Fox explained the differences between this episode and others in the past. Finally, the first lecture ended with questions from the audience. Of course, not all questions were answered, so other lectures are planned for later on in the semester. Information on those will be released later. Terry explained some interesting things about the process of writing for TV. | didnt realize how much work went into just a television show, said Annie Decker, a sophomore who attended the first lecture. The two classes that Fox will be teaching this semester are Intro to Screenwriting and Advanced Screenwriting. Intro to Screenwriting The Cat Cutters Tricia Davis . Ashley Wells .
