We were blessed to have Nikki Ackerman of Kitiara Blue Media attend the fest and discuss some of the ins and outs of script writing with us. We are considering putting together a more formal educational course based on her expertise.
"U.S. Army veteran Nikki Ackerman needed an outlet for her own work. She soon discovered that there was a need to help other aspiring screenwriters in her area, or those that had a story but didn’t know how to tell it. Nikki didn’t always dream of opening her own business. However, she has always had a knack for helping others. Evident in her resume. While in Landshtul, Germany awaiting an outpatient procedure, she made up her mind it was time to get on with her education. Despite being a lifelong University of Florida fan, and due to family commitments, she ended up attending the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). That’s where she discovered screenwriting, thanks to Dr. Dave Jauss, one of her many mentors. After receiving her BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing and a minor in Film Studies, Nikki decided if she was going to do to grad school it was now or never. Enrolling that very summer at Full Sail University, she pushed through a few rough patches and eventually earned her MFA in Creative Writing for the Entertainment." @KitBlueMedia www.KitiaraBlueMedia.com
We also had a special message from our sponsor "Women In Film & Television Austin" and Kirtana Banskota.
