Hollywood Behind the Scenes with 'Shrek' Screenwriter Roger Schulman

Tuesday, May 19, 7-8:30 pm (Trefz Forum)

Westport Library 20 Jesup Road Westport, CT 06880

203.291.4800

Here’s the official announcement:

Go behind the scenes with Roger S.H. Schulman, the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated co-writer of Shrek, whose work spans film, television, journalism, and teaching. From Disney favorites like Balto, Mulan II, and The Jungle Book II to hit series including Living Single and Bizaardvark, Schulman brings decades of storytelling experience to the Trefz Forum stage — just in time for Shrek's 25th anniversary!

In conversation with Prof. Todd Barnes, Associate Director of the School of Communication, Media & the Arts and Artistic Director of the graduate film program (FTMA) at Sacred Heart University, Schulman will reflect on his creative journey — from journalism to Hollywood and the classroom — offering an entertaining, behind-the-scenes look at storytelling across media.

Make it a double feature: Catch a Shrek 25th anniversary screening at a movie theater near you the week of Friday, May 15 — then come to the Library for an exclusive look into one of the minds that brought this timeless story to life!

And if you're eager to learn even more about the mechanics of screenwriting, join Roger for his accompanying Verso University workshop on Writing Compelling Characters!

There is a $10 registration fee. The Westport Library wants to ensure that all who are interested are able to participate in Verso University courses. If the registration fee is a barrier to entry for you, please contact JConnon@westportlibrary.org.
