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 go inside the writers room of Netflix Original Series Dear White People. Moderated by the show’s creator and showrunner, Justin Simien, learn how the writing team has deftly tackled complex issues, such as race, sexual assault, and police brutality, for the past three seasons and how they’re approaching the series’ fourth and final season.

Panelists:

• Justin Simien - Writer, Creator, Executive Producer

• Jack Moore - Writer and Executive Producer

• Nastaran Dibai - Writer and Executive Producer

• Njeri Brown - Writer

• Steve J. Kung - Writer

• Chuck Hayward - Writer

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.

Netflix is matching the suggested donations we receive for this event. Thank you for your support!
