A few months ago we were fortunate enough to have not one, but two, international comedy scriptwriting legends grace our shores as part of Screen Australia’s focus on comedy at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF).

If you weren’t able to catch the conversation between Oscar®-nominated writer and director Francis Veber (La Cage aux Folles, The Valet, Tais-toi! and The Dinner Game) and Steve Kaplan, consultant and script doctor to some of the biggest names in the business such as DreamWorks, Disney, HBO, Paramount and Touchstone, on the art of mastering comedy then you’re in luck!

We are now thrilled to be able to present you with a free recording of this event.

We hope you enjoy the valuable insights from this lively conversation:
