WGF x Business of Creating x Brain & Bullish Present Crisis-Focused Storylines: Truth, Misperceptions, and How to Create Your Own Perfect Storm

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.

Join Business of Creating and Brain & Bullish for an interactive panel and Q&A with seasoned entertainment executives and real-life disaster experts to learn the ins and outs of creating and producing crisis-focused storylines. Topics include: what writers and producers get right, what they get wrong (!), what resources are available to ensure authenticity at all stages, and what practical action steps you, the creator, can take right now to make sure your project rises to the top.

Panelists:

  • Aaron Rahsaan Thomas - Executive Producer and Showrunner, S.W.A.T.

  • Lorraine Schneider - Global Crisis Management, The Walt Disney Co.

  • Kate Hutton - Emergency Manager, City of Seattle, Washington

Moderated by Jennifer Mangan (Writer/Producer Beautiful Day Productions) and Gabby Almon (Founder, Brain & Bullish).

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.
