It’s that time of year again, folks. The Writers Guild Foundation, in partnership with the Writers Guild of America West, Final Draft/Coverfly, Variety, and sponsored by Late Night with Seth Meyers, Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, present BEYOND WORDS 2024, our annual event highlighting this year’s Writers Guild Awards screenplay nominees.
Join us for two back-to-back panels featuring nominees for Adapted and Original Screenplay. Learn about their process for crafting the nominated scripts as well as their journeys navigating the industry as screenwriters.
Original Screenplay Panel

Alex Convery - Air
Greta Gerwig - Barbie
David Hemingson - The Holdovers
Adapted Screenplay Panel

Both panels moderated by Variety Senior Awards Editor Clayton Davis.
Doors open at 6pm. Program begins at 7pm. A dessert reception immediately follows the panels.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Writers Guild Foundation’s Library, Archive and Community Outreach Programs.
In the case the event is sold out, we will have a first come, first serve stand-by line at the event starting 30 minutes before doors open. The stand-by line does not guarantee entry into the event and we will only accept credit card transactions for any released seats.
