The Writers Guild of America (WGA) Committee of Black Writers, in association with the ABFF, invites you to join them for a 2-day writers workshop that will teach you how to build great screenplays that make movie executives take notice. In addition to providing you with a deeper understanding of the core elements of story structure - plot, character and theme - there will be extensive exploration and discussion of transformational arcs, the spectrum of story genres, and the writer's method of working from the inside out. At the conclusion of this workshop, you will have gained valuable insight into the writing process and the necessary tools to create marketable screenplays.
