We aimed to provide Four (4) Black screenwriters with the resources and tools to workshop their Feature Script or TV Pilot in a safe, supportive environment. All genres were welcome and all expenses covered by The CRAFT Institute.
The retreat includes 1:1 mentorship, seminars, writing shares and opportunities for connection building that are sustained beyond the 3 days.
