This Twilight phenomena is pretty amazing. It’s always tough to turn a popular series of books into a popular movie franchise. There are so many great opportunities available for screenwriters and with just a little web surfing, they are easy to find. When trying to perfect a screenplay (if that’s even possible) it’s invaluable to have feedback on your script instead of just working in a vacuum. For those just starting out, that can be a tough thing to find. There are some film schools that offer such services. One that I found is Film Connection, http://www.film-connection.com/screenwriting_sub.html They offer one on one mentoring and their coure is available all over the US and Canada.
