At Sherwood Oaks emerging writers can meet and chat with major producers, writers, agents, directors and actors. And the best part 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.
