New screenwriting Master's at MUM to feature Hollywood veterans

A new low-residency MFA in screenwriting at Maharishi University of Management (MUM) will launch in February, with several Hollywood veterans scheduled to give guest lectures in the program, which is a new track in the David Lynch Graduate School of Cinematic Arts.

Students will spend nine days in residence on campus at the beginning of each semester, with the rest of the instruction during the two-year program taking place online under the guidance of a mentor.

Hollywood guest speakers in the residencies will include Peter Farrelly, writer and director of such hits as Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, and Shallow Hal; Dara Marks, a script doctor and author of Inside Story; and producer Bill Borden, known for End of Days, Get on the Bus, and Mission Impossible III, and the High School Musical series.

Students will also meet program founder David Lynch and other industry notables during a fifth and final residency in Los Angeles, during which they will hone the skills they need to market their thesis screenplays to agents, producers, and studio executives.

The residencies will include lectures, panel discussions, master classes, staged readings, and workshops.

"Our students will not only acquire all the knowledge they need to become professional screenwriters, they'll also discover how the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique can help them gain access to the deepest levels of creativity and help them find more meaningful stories to tell," said Dorothy Rompalske, who will head the program.
