Meeting Joss Whedon!

Posted by Cera Rose Pickering on Monday, December 2, 2013 Under: Screenwriting
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the crazy talent (and crazy funny) Joss Whedon!

Myself and twenty other screenwriters attended a two hour workshop courtesy of IMPOSSIBLE, a new social network set up by actress and model Lily Cole. Impossible allows its users to post 'wishes' on its website and encourages others to come forward and grant those wishes by donating their specific skills and time.

Maybe you want to learn French? Or how to knit? Or someone to chat to? Those are all current wishes on www.impossible.com

You can also just step forward and say that you would like to offer up your skills. Joss Whedon said he'd like to offer a screenwriting workshop and Impossible made it happen!

It was great to hear his wisdom on story, structure, super hero movies and more! But my favourite thing he said was...

'Whatever makes you weird is your greatest asset'

Thank you Joss & Lily for an inspiring morning:)
