Direct to Screen: How to Direct Your Words Into Pictures

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 months, we’ve been hosting free Zoom panels about craft and all things relevant to writers.

You’ve written the film—now how do you execute it? For this session, we feature writers/directors who will explore how to write for the camera, techniques for working with actors, and how to build dynamic scenes from elements of your story.

Panelists:

  • Sean Durkin - Writer/Director, The Nest, Martha Marcy May Marlene

  • Eliza Hittman - Writer/Director, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Beach Rats

  • Shaka King - Writer/Director, Judas and the Black Messiah, Newlyweeds

  • Ryan Koo - Writer/Director, Amateur

Moderated by WGF VP of Programming Larry Andries (Godfather of Harlem, How to Get Away with Murder).

Panel starts at 4:00pm 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.
