Are you interested in meeting and making connections with other Sundance Collab members? Join Sundance Collab for Script Club, a virtual event series designed to spark conversations with screenwriters, filmmakers, and cinephiles from across the world.
For this holiday season Script Club event, we will discuss the screenplay for the romantic comedy film Four Weddings and a Funeral, written by acclaimed screenwriter Richard Curtis:
Lovable Englishman Charles (Hugh Grant) and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie (Andie MacDowell) at a wedding, he thinks his luck may have changed. But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been. As Charles and Carrie's paths continue to cross -- over a handful of nuptials and one funeral -- he comes to believe they are meant to be together, even if their timing always seems to be off.
Four Weddings and a Funeral, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, had its world premiere at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. It went on to become the highest-grossing British film in history at the time and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards. Curtis’ storied career includes writing classic films such as Love Actually, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Notting Hill, as well as co-creating the TV show Mr. Bean.
In preparation for the event, we recommend you first read the script, then watch the film.
How Script Club Works:
- Read the script in advance, watch the film if you can, then join us on Zoom for a lively discussion led by one of Sundance Collab’s Community Leaders.
- The event will last approximately two hours.
- We'll watch clips from the film, then break into interactive groups led by a Sundance Collab Community Leader to discuss the script and the film
- We encourage joining our Community Forum on Discord to get prompts ahead of the event and continue the discussion with your peers afterwards
