Mining Your Life: Finding Ideas for Screenwriting
Online | Open to writing 360 mentees and writing 360 mentors
In our last Writing 360 workshop of the year, TV writer, Naomi G. Davis, will share her knowledge of story building, guide us through concepts of how to find ideas and share her experience working on shows like The Endgame, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and The Get Down. Participants will write about a personal experience in their life, then share these memories in small group "writers rooms", where they will collaboratively create the next hit TV show! "Writers room" groups will then share their TV show pitches with Naomi and the other "writers rooms". Join us to discover how your life has the potential to be a story on the screen!
