Joe Habraken’s screenplay selected for juried reading at UFVA’s annual conference

jhabraken3Joe Habraken’s theatrical screenplay “Misappropriated Magic,” has been selected for a juried reading at the 50th annual University Film and Video Association (UFVA) Conference in Orange, California. Habraken, associate professor of new and digital media in the Department of Arts and Communications, teaches media production and media writing courses in the Bachelor of Arts in Communications degree program.

The theme of the conference is “Story First.” Habraken’s screenplay is the story of a Fortune 500 CEO who will try anything to keep his company from going bankrupt, even magic. Initial success at using a magic book to manipulate the stock market leads to both comedic and dire consequences.

The UFVA, which includes members who have written professionally for film and television, was founded to develop the potential of instructional film and television media throughout the world and to serve as a central source of information on film and video instruction and production by educational institutions.
