By Robin Rowe
ScreenPlayLab provides a calendar of upcoming Hollywood industry events
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 10/26/2009 – At the October ScreenPlayLab mixer I ran into mogul David Geffen while waiting in line at valet parking. The superb Ferrari parked in the driveway wasn’t his. Like me, he drives a Prius.
ScreenPlayLab’s monthly film and television industry mixer has been called the most fun and engaging of all the Hollywood industry networking events. Mingle with industry players in all aspects of the business…writers, producers, actors, managers, cinematographers, composers, more.
At Wolfgang Puck’s Sidebar lounge in the incredibly posh Regency Beverly Wilshire hotel, 9500 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills. Jacket or cocktail dress attire recommended. Drop by for a drink or fancy dessert between 7pm to 10pm. Room capacity 80. We had about 100 guests overall last time. No cover. RSVP at:
