The Inside Hollywood Speaker Series welcomes John David Ware and Gary
Zelasko to Riverside City College on Thursday, October 9, at 6 p.m. in
the Digital Library Auditorium.

Ware and Zelasko will discuss the benefits of film festivals and
screenwriting competitions and how they sharpen filmmakers’ skills,
promote projects, and contribute to career advancement.
Ware
is the founder and director of the168 Film Project, a worldwide
filmmaking and writing competition. Through the competition over 800
short films have been produced worldwide in 12 years. The competition
has helped to launch
several careers, including that of Elizabeth Jones (We Bought A
Zoo). Ware has also written feature-length screenplays and is the
writer/director of a short film spoof of Hollywood stereotypes entitled
The Chronicles of Hernia. Originally from Ohio, Ware went to film school
at Miami University and today is a highly sought-after conference
speaker and media and film-festival consultant.

Meanwhile, Zelasko is the director of marketing development for Greg Laurie’s Harvest Ministries, which
includes
Laurie’s Harvest Christian Fellowship; its radio program, A New
Beginning, with an estimated two million daily listeners; and Laurie’s
Harvest Crusades, where an estimated four million people have attended
in the past 24 years. He also leads the marketing and distribution
effort for Harvest Films. Its biographical documentary film, Lost Boy:
The Next Chapter, won eight international film festival awards, and its
Hope For Hurting Hearts, featuring Greg and Cathe Laurie, Nick Vujicic,
and Jeremy Camp, has been recognized 15 times as a category winner or
official selection at several film festivals. Zelasko also contributes
to the marketing effort for greglaurie.tv, Harvest’s weekly half-hour
television program, and Harvest America. Prior to joining Harvest
