AND PARTNER JOE DIETL
Ben and Joe are Hollywood screenwriters/directors/actors, who will tell all on making it in Tinseltown.
These hilarious life partners will share stories on being openly gay in homophobic Hollywood (that's right!),
and they'll show clips of their projects with Jane Lynch, Jennifer Aniston, Margaret Cho, David Schwimmer, and more.
Joe's acting credits include Two and a Half Men, and Ben's acting credits include Reno 911, Lovespring International,
and The Real Live Brady Bunch. Ben's writing credits include I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY and JACK AND JILL.
Seeing the clip of Ben's sex scene with Jane Lynch is worth the $5 cover charge alone!
Admission: $5; free admission if you went to Story Pitching/Screenwriting Seminar
