At Sherwood Oaks emerging writers can meet and chat with major

is that for nearly all of the situations we set up, the guests are
willing to accept material directly from our small group of writers,
whether they have representation or not. Sherwood Oaks Experimental
College specializes in organizing screenwriting events which gives
writers access to the top agents, producers and studio executives in
Hollywood. It brings in industry players to personally meet with
writers and keeps the groups small to allow the writers to interact
with each and every guest. In 2005 James Cameron, Kevin Costner,
David Duchovney, Morgan Freeman, Michael London, Gary Marshall,
Hillary Swank, David Mamet and many others have appeared. Sherwood
Oaks Experimental College also takes small groups to award shows like
the Directors Guild Award Show, he Producers Guild Awards, the Writers
Guild Awards, and the Emmys. It has held screenwriting events at many
Hollywood Studios, including Sony, MGM, FOX, Universal and Paramount.

Synopsis
Pamela is shy and leads an insipid and anonymous life working as a supermarket cashier.
As a religious devout her only solace is her regular attendance to Church. A growing and gradual desire to have a child takes over Pamela's life. Suddenly miracles start to occur. and messages of a marvelous destiny start to reach Pamela in unusual ways: encounters with a mysterious customer, the friendship of a glamorous protective motherly transvestite, her disconcerting dreams, even in the barcodes of the products she has spent her life scanning.
The 'Savior of the Next Millennium' is apparently on his way and everything indicates that Pamela, a virgin, is carrying said savior.Confused Pamela undertakes an inner voyage, attempting to reconcile the desire of conception with her religious notions.
A paradoxical voyage the more mystic she grows, the more human she becomes
