The Moxie Project presents the first-ever GAY TV WEEK in Palm Springs

BRUCE VILANCH AND ‘ALL-STAR’ PANEL TO JUDGE GAY TV PROMO MAKING CONTEST IN PALM SPRINGS – JULY 8-12

imagebrowser imageHollywood comedy writer Bruce Vilanch will head up a “Palm Springs All-Star” list of ‘celebrity’ judges who will evaluate the entries in The Moxie Project’s first-ever TV Commercial contest to be held July 8 to 12, 2009, at Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs. Other judges include former Palm Springs Mayor Ron Oden, City of Palm Springs Director of Tourism Mary Jo Ginther, radio personality “Bulldog” Bill Feingold, Desert Gay Tourism Guild President Ricardo Gomez, Dick Taylor of DST Industries, and local divas Bella da Ball and Pinkie Meringue Shimmer. The deadline for contest submissions is Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 6:00 PM at Hotel Zoso.

“We have a fantastic team of judges assembled from Hollywood and the local Palm Springs community for the first-ever Gay TV Week,” said Shann Carr, founder of the Moxie Project. “Everyone at Moxie is very excited about all the fun events we have planned for the local community and the production teams who will be in town to compete. Most of the events are at Hotel Zoso, who is offering an amazing $89/night rate for Moxie guests.”

Gay TV Week, which takes place from July 8 to 12, will also feature a free writer’s workshop with Bruce Vilanch titled “How To Write What Sells and Sell It In Hollywood!” from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday, July 11 at Hotel Zoso. Vilanch is one of the ‘most employed’ writers in Hollywood. He caught the public eye with his wisecracks on Hollywood Squares, and most notably has written more Academy Awards and Emmy Award shows than any other writer working today.
