Stories are powerful.
Throughout history, stories have inspired us, opened new perspectives, and deepened our understanding of the human condition. Today, writers for the screen are the most influential storytellers in the world. The best writers in film and television present us with stories and characters that push the boundaries of a comfortable culture.
We believe screenwriters need time away from the stress of the modern world and the commercial pressures of the industry to develop their craft and make the most profound impact on audiences. We also believe storytellers thrive with the support of a strong community of fellow artists and mentors who understand the journey of the writer’s life.
Honoring Alum Sarah Adina Smith!
Sarah Adina Smith is a perfect ambassador for the work we do. When we met her in 2014 she had yet to direct her first film. In the years since, she has become a singular storyteller working across genres in film and television.
Episodic Lab 2022
Our writers examined their shows, pulled them apart, and put them back together. They also drank margaritas, rode ATVs, and swam in the ocean during torrential downpours.
