  • We at the WGF may have hit a pause on our live events, but thanks to technology, we’re aiming to provide more access to advice and knowledge from film and TV writers while we’re all social distancing. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been hosting free Zoom panels about craft and all things relevant to writers.

    For this session, we learn about the research methods practiced by screenwriters Andrew Lanham (Just Mercy, The Kid) and Kevin Willmott (Da 5 Bloods, BlacKkKlansman). They’ll share how they gather information, how their research informs their screenplays, and how they approach writing stories about real people and events. Moderated by WGF librarian Lauren O’Connor.

    Panel starts at 4pm Pacific time.

    Space is limited so RSVP now. After signing up, you’ll receive information on how to access the Zoom panel.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at events@wgfoundation.org.

    For anyone who was unable to RSVP for the panel, we will record and post it at a later date.
