Live tweeting “Michael Clayton” tonight!

As part of this week’s script reading and analysis of Michael Clayton, screenwriters F. Scott Frazier [@ScreenWritten], John Gary [@JohnGary], and I will be live-tweeting the movie tonight at 8PM PDT / 11PM EDT [U.S.].

What do I mean? How do you participate?

At precisely that designated time, everyone who has access to the movie Michael Clayton is invited to push Play and watch the film.

As you screen the movie, you can join in a live Twitter conversation, analysis and comments about the film in real-time.

Use the hashtag #MClay on your Tweets to participate.

[If you are not clear about hashtags, here is an article explaining them.]

This is an experiment, an attempt to use social media and the collective insight of the online screenwriting community to help us dig more deeply into this movie and through that process, deepen our understanding of the craft of filmmaking.

Oh, yeah. To have some fun, too!

If this works, we may well want to do something similar each month with our script reading and analysis series.

So here’s another chance for the GITS community to be a community!

Tonight, Wednesday, March 28: 8PM PDT / 11PM EDT. At precisely the top of the hour, start playing the movie Michael Clayton. Make sure you are on Twitter, then follow commentary with the hashtag #MClay. If you want to tweet your observations or questions, use #MClay at the end of your tweet to steer it into the flow of conversation.

Hope to see you on Twitter tonight for our live screening of Michael Clayton!

UPDATE: You can read a transcript of last night’s session here. Go to the bottom and scroll your way up to review it in chronological order. You could, if you want, go through the tweets while watching the movie.
