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 celebrate Pride month with a discussion around the craft and development of LGBTQ+ stories and characters for television. Hear how this panel of writers and producers approach character development as well as how they navigate the industry as writers from the LGBTQ+ community.

Panelists:

• Ryan O’Connell - Writer, creator and star, Special

• Rebecca Sugar - Writer, creator, and executive producer, Steven Universe

• Josh Thomas - Writer, creator and star, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay

• Lena Waithe - Writer, creator and executive producer, Twenties, The Chi

Moderated by Ali Adler (Supergirl, The New Normal).

Panel begins 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 them at a later date.
