May 2nd: Unusual Breakdowns for Complex Scripts with Mary Cybulski
Mary has worked on films such as The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Synecdoche, NY, The Ice Storm, Taking Woodstock, to name just a few. She says: "Every movie has its particular thing that you just know will cause you trouble. How do you wrap your mind around those situations and design a system to help you express and track those problem threads?"
