Free film industry seminar at Museum of Science

The Entertainment Industry Incubator is holding A Conversation with Filmmaker Brian Hecker at the Miami Science Museum (3280 S. Miami Ave.) tomorrow, April 1.

Brian grew up in South Florida, the setting for his new film "Bart Got a Room," which opens April 3. The film stars William H. Macy, Jennifer Tilley and newcomer Steven Kaplan in an off-beat coming-of-age comedy shot entirely in Florida.

Brian received an MFA at the American Film Institute where he was awarded 'Director of the Year'. His short thesis film Family Attraction, starring Martin Sheen and the late Chris Penn, earned over a dozen national and international film festival awards. Paramount Pictures has recently hired Hecker and his writing partner to write a biopic for Leonardo Dicaprio about the 29-year-old rebel-genius Nolan Bushnell who, in 1972, created Pong and started Atari.

Brian Hecker has recently joined the
Miami Filmmaker Project Advisory Board. The free seminar starts tomorrow at 6:30 pm. For info: info@eincubator.org.
