Screenwriting Cruise Adds Howard Suber, Ph.D., to Inaugural 7-Day Screenwriting Lab at Sea

LOS ANGELES - Sept. 13, 2025 - PRLog -- Screenwriting Cruise, a premium, weeklong screenwriting workshop and story lab staged aboard The Navigator of the Seas, today announced that legendary educator Howard Suber, Ph.D. (UCLA Film School Professor Emeritus; creator of the six-part series The Power of Film) will join the program alongside Emmy-winning writer-producer Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones), festival strategist, author/filmmaker Jon Fitzgerald, Adjunct Professor of Screenwriting in the UCLA Professional Program Wendall Thomas and Brian Patrick Fagan (Director, Professional Programs, UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television; author of Griggumlund). The inaugural sailing runs Feb 6-12th, round-trip from Los Angeles with calls in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta. Additional mentors and industry guests will be announced.

"The Screenwriting Cruise is built for working writers, focused craft by day, ocean-view dinners and serious networking by night," said Executive Producer Ian James Duncan. "With Howard Suber decoding why great films endure, Bryan Cogman sharpening pages, Jon Fitzgerald shaping market-ready pitches, and Brian Patrick Fagan breaking stories live in the room, writers will disembark with a pressure-tested premise, a polished outline, and a plan."
