Tinseltown is about to invade Music City for the 7th year in a row for what has now become the premiere screenwriting conference in the nation — the Nashville Screenwriters Conference 2005.

The NSC features a series of practical how-to panels on breaking into the movie biz, an outstanding music-for-film panel with music supervisor Anastasia Brown moderating some of the top names in the business, and a number of great parties where Hollywood players mix it up with conference attendees.
