Brewing Culture, a national organization of creative professionals, welcomed screenwriter, producer, and director Randall Wallace to the Nation's capital for a conversation about the power of stories.
February 5, 2005 (Press Release) --
More than 125 creative professionals met in Georgetown on Thursday evening for a conversation with award-winning screenwriter Randall Wallace, writer of Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, and seven novels.
The evening, sponsored by Brewing Culture, was on the topic of "craft and calling."
Brewing Culture is a community of creative professionals desiring to explore and express the good, the true, and the beautiful through art and media.
"Randall Wallace is a master storyteller by anyone's definition," said Brewing Culture founder Erik Lokkesmoe. "He loves the unlikely hero, the complexity of the human condition, and the role of light and shadow in a well-told story."
Lokkesmoe also said that Brewing Culture is creating a "haven for conversation in a culture of soundbites and bullhorns."
He continued: "Brewing Culture is likely the only place in America where you will find right and left, Republican and Democrat, black and white, young and old, people of different faiths and beliefs, coming together to dialogue about what it means to be human and more than human. And that is a good thing."
Brewing Culture meets monthly throughout Washington, D.C., most often at a local bar. Over its three year history, the group has hosted concerts, exhibits, screenings, and tributes to artists. Brewing Culture is discussing ways to plant other gatherings in the creative cities of America.
