The Southern Literary Festival is an event held yearly to encourage undergraduate writing and is open to the community, featuring established screenwriter Chris Dowling April 5. The writer will speak about his experiences and work, enriching the community not only by sharing the creative journeys but also through sharing the stories of their lives.
Chris Dowling is a screenwriter and director born in Flowood, Misissippi. A veteran of the movie industry for almost twenty years, his films run the gamut from faith-based themes to apocalyptic horror, and he has won awards from the Heartland Film Festival, the Dallas Film Festival, the Dove Awards, and Movieguide. He also has had the opportunity to work with a variety of actors, including Thomas Haden Church and Dennis Quaid. The major factor in his invitation to this event was the nature of his talent: his success as a screenwriter.
