'Knocked Up' Writer In Residence At Huston

Hollywood writer and producer Evan Goldberg is to teach at NUI Galway as part of the Huston School of Film & Digital Media Writers in Residence Programme.
Goldberg has worked on films 'Superbad' and 'Knocked Up', starring Katherine Heigl, and the TV comedy Da Ali G Show.
On April 24, Goldberg will attend a special public screening of 'Superbad', followed by a question and answer session.
Goldberg's Huston School of Film & Digital Media Residence Programme at NUI Galway will last from April 22 to May 7. During that time he will deliver workshops to students on Screenwriting, Production and Direction.
Previous participants in the Writers Residence Programme have included John Huston's son Tony Huston and documentary maker George Stoney.
Writer Allegra Huston, daughter of the late John Huston, has also visited the school with her writing salon.
According to Rod Stoneman, Director of the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway: "Together with Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, Evan Goldberg is part of the new royal family of comedy in Hollywood. Goldberg is writer of 'Superbad' and Executive Producer of 'Knocked Up', two landmark comedy films which have thrown the mainstream Hollywood comedy rulebook out the window.
"These films out gross the gross-out comedy and yet are inflected with a warmth, humanity and truth that is rare anywhere in mainstream contemporary cinema."
Founded in 2003, the Huston School of Film & Digital Media offers a range of one-year postgraduate courses in Film Studies; Screenwriting; Production and Direction; Arts Policy and Practice; Public Advocacy and Activism; and Digital Media.
In Autumn of 2008, the first undergraduate course offered through the CAO system will come on stream, the BA with Film Studies.
The school is named in tribute to Oscar-winning film director and actor who lived in St Clerans, near Craughwell, Co. Galway for over twenty years.
For further information on the public session with Evan Goldberg on April 24, or to reserve a place, contact Derval McCormack on: 091 495076.
