Create The Writers Room is a curated writer-and-filmmaker initiative focused on disrupting the status quo, by empowering BIPOC creatives with opportunities designed for growth and career acceleration.
Allied with our Studio, Network, Production, and Festival partners, our commitment is to equip storytellers with the know-how to navigate the industry's complexities through mentorship, community, and hands-on experiences.
Our approach has established a one-of-a-kind pipeline, serving as a direct communication and visibility hub for underrepresented writers and filmmakers in the SCI-FI and FANTASY genres. Through FIVE FILM FRIDAYS, CTWR's quarterly showcase, writers and filmmakers gain unprecedented access to Hollywood gatekeepers, where they exhibit their expansive and imaginative worlds on the screen for our Studio, Network, and Production partners. Our goal? AMPLIFY! Carve out space for next-gen sci-fi/fantasy visionaries. Three of the Five Projects selected to participate in FIVE FILM FRIDAYS will advance, propelling those filmmakers' visions into 3 coveted spots to compete for Best Short Narrative or Best Animated Short in the Pan African Film Festival.
It's your Dream, your Story, your Future.
