They were all written by the screenwriter (Robert Rodat\, Lawerence Kasdan\, and Melissa Mathison respectively). \nInside the industry\, these screenwriters are well known for their ability to crack the story\, create great roles for actors\, and write memorable dialogue.  But there are also writers in living rooms all around the world\, tapping away at their keyboards\, writing what could be the next breakout movie. \nListen to what Ryan Reynolds said when he received the award for Best Actor. \n“I’d like to take this chance to thank the screenwriters\, not just the ones on Deadpool\, but everywhere. It is a hugely undervalued asset in Hollywood. They are the architects. They make us look good.”\n– Ryan Reynolds accepting the 2016 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actor \nSo why haven’t we heard of these creative souls? \nYou will…starting now…with National Screenwriters Day! \nHOW TO OBSERVE #NationalScreenwritersDay\nGo to NationalScreenwritersDay.com to find out the latest updates and see interviews with top screenwriters about their mysterious vocation. Look up the origins of your favorite movie and see who the screenwriter is. Send a shoutout using #NationalScreenwritersDay on social media. \nNATIONAL SCREENWRITERS DAY HISTORY\nScreenwritingU.com\, the leading education source for screenwriters worldwide\, founded National Screenwriters Day.

SUMMARY:National Science Fiction Day
DESCRIPTION:National Science Fiction Day promotes the celebration of science fiction as a genre\, its creators\, history\, and various media\, too. On January 2nd annually\, millions of science fiction fans across the United States read and watch their favorites in science fiction. \nThe date of the celebration commemorates the birth of famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.  An American author and Boston University professor of biochemistry\, Isaac Asimov was born Isaak Yudovich Ozimov on January 2\, 1920. He is best known for his works of science fiction and his popular science books. Isaac Asimov\, whose works are followed by many\, died on April 6\, 1992. \nNational Science Fiction Day is recognized by the Hallmark Channel and the Scholastic Corporation.  \nConsidered a master of hard science fiction\, Asimov\, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke\, was considered one of the “Big Three” science-fiction writers during his lifetime. The Foundation Series is regarded as Asimov’s most outstanding piece. His other major series are the Galactic Empire Series and the Robot Series. \nSome of the successful television shows recognized by science fiction fans include Star Trek-The Next Generation\, The X-Files\, Battlestar Galactica\, Doctor Who\, and The Twilight Zone. \nAs we look back at some older science fiction in our current technology-infused world\, how close do the writers come to imaging our futures? Long before Asimov created his first work\, humans imagined machines that allowed them to soar like birds. Another man\, Leonardo Di Vinci\, looked to the future\, too. He designed contraptions worthy of the science fiction in his time. \nScience fiction impacts life in ways we may not even consider – even those who don’t enjoy reading or watching science fiction. \nHOW TO OBSERVE #ScienceFictionDay\nThe day encourages reading or watching science fiction. However\, consider exploring science fiction in other ways. For example: \n\nIntroduce science fiction to an entirely new generation. Offer to read excerpts from your favorite science fiction author to a youth group at a library.\nExplore the authors of science fiction you’ve never read before.\nStudy the history of science fiction and how it has impacted modern culture.\nShare your favorite science fiction story or character.\n\nUse #ScienceFictionDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION DAY HISTORY\nSince at least 2011\, science fiction lovers have been honoring Isaac Asimov and other science fiction contributors. In 2013\, asimovs.com published a guest editorial by Ed Finn. The writer talks about doomsday predictions while also looking toward the future – all moving toward the true meaning of National Science Fiction Day. Read the complete article\, Celebrate National Science Fiction Day by Learning to Live in the Future. \nThere are over 1\,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one. Celebrate Every Day® with National Day Calendar®!

SUMMARY:National Short Film Day

Two brothers\, Auguste and Louis Lumière\, lit a spark of fascination in front of a paying audience of 33 customers. They would ignite the world’s obsession with cinema. The two pioneers presented 10 short films\, each about 50 seconds in length\, to the amazement of all those in attendance. The experience of “watching movies” came alive that day. And it all began with those first 10 short films. \nToday\, short films come in many genres\, lengths and styles. They entertain us with animation\, fantasy\, comedy and drama. They also inform and educate us through documentary subjects that provide revealing insights into real-life stories we may have never known before. \nIn short\, short films continue to move us\, just as they did that first time over 120 years ago! \nHOW TO OBSERVE #NationalShortFilmDay\nWatch short films all day. Share your favorite short films and use #NationalShortFilmDay on social media. \nNATIONAL SHORT FILM DAY HISTORY\n\n \nFilm Movement founded National Short Film Day in 2019 and celebrated its first observance on December 28th\, 2019. They created the day to celebrate the impact of the short film and to commemorate its long and enduring history. \nIn 2019\, Film Movement registered the observance with National Day Calendar®\, and the Registrar proclaimed the day to be observed on December 28th\, annually. \nEach year on that day\, Film Movement will stream 10 short films for free on their exclusive streaming service\, Film Movement Plus (www.filmmovementplus.com)\, and offer new subscribers exclusive membership discounts. \nThere are over 1\,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one. Celebrate Every Day® with National Day Calendar®! \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
