It’s fun to imagine yourself in the writing room of one of your favorite television shows, bouncing ideas around a table, creating story lines and interesting characters in Los Angeles or New York. Now, you will be able to do the same thing here in Norman, at the Cinematic Artists of Norman Writers’ Circle. Its inaugural meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 1 at Michelangelo’s Coffee and Wine Bar, 207 East Main St., Norman.

All interested writers and beginning writers are welcome.  Future meetings will be decided upon that evening.

University of Oklahoma instructor Kyle Bergersen will moderate the group. Bergersen is a member of the Writer’s Guild of America, West, and a prolific writer in film and television.

Cinematic Artists of Oklahoma is part of the Norman Arts Council.  It was founded by a group of local filmmakers, and strives to strengthen the community of filmmakers in Norman and the surrounding areas by providing valuable resources and outlets for local filmmakers.  No matter the age or experience level, CAN seeks to build a support system for the creativity of film and video, and seeks to grow the film industry’s interest in Norman.
