Our mentorship workshop series will kick off this year with an intense discussion with two of Hollywood's hottest writer-directors on their careers and life. Not only are they at the top of their game as writer-directors, but both Hollywood Hill members are huge social activists. We'll enjoy a lively discussion on how they handle both missions. Callie's writing credits include Thelma & Louise (for which she won an Academy Award) and Something to Talk About (starring Julia Roberts). She co-wrote and directed both of her most recent projects: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Mad Money, opening January 18th and starring Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, and Diane Keaton. Scott's writing credits include The Bourne Ultimatum and he recently wrote and directed HBO Film's PU-239. His other directing credits include the new TV show Californication. Together with Laurie David and Lawrence Bender, he produced An Inconvenient Truth, and he's also the genius mind behind the "Got Milk?" campaign. He is currently penning and co-producing Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt's first joint producing effort - an untitled drama series for HBO which will explore the behind-the-scenes politics of an international aid organization and chronicle the lives of humanitarian workers assigned to dangerous zones and the people in need they assist.
