Breaking In at Any Age

We’re thrilled to host a panel, in partnership with the Academy Education and Nicholl Fellowship Programs, on how to break into the industry as a writer at any age.

Panelists will discuss the job landscape in the industry, their experiences breaking in through various channels and mediums, and how entry points have changed throughout the years.

Panelists:

  • Laurence Andries (Moderator) – THE PACIFIC, SIX FEET UNDER

  • Ronald Bass – RAIN MAN, MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING, ENTRAPMENT

  • Douglas Jung – STAR TREK BEYOND, CONFIDENCE

  • Peter Landesman – CONCUSSION, KILL THE MESSENGER

  • Meg LeFauve – INSIDE OUT, THE GOOD DINOSAUR

  • Linda Woolverton – ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, MALEFICENT

After the panel, the Academy Education and Nicholl Fellowship Programs will host a networking reception.

Event starts at 7:30 p.m. followed by a networking reception from 9-10 p.m.
