ABFF Writers' Lab

Calling All Screenwriters!

Are you a writer on the path to becoming a professional screenwriter? If so, it's time to hone your craft. Celebrating its 10th Anniversary, American Black Film Festival (ABFF), in association with HBO Films, will host a seminar for up to six qualifying writers designed to provide career guidance for emerging screenwriters.

The HBO Writers Lab is a mentoring program that will offer practical insights into what to expect from script writing as a profession, with the goal of providing an encouraging and supportive environment in which to openly discuss story, the creative and "notes" process, and the challenges of writing under the guidelines of others. The session will be led by HBO Films’ vice president, Sam Martin, who oversees the development and production of feature-length projects for HBO Films. Among her most recent projects are the Emmy® and Golden Globe-winning "Lackawanna Blues" and "Empire Falls," as well as "Sometimes in April."

The HBO Writers Lab will assist in preparing selected participants for collaboration within the studio system and beyond. For entry applications, please visit www.abff.com

Mike, This movie means alot to many people. The reason it is so special to me is that my English Bulldog "Boris" was Hired to play the roll of the ship's mascot "Horace" It was a great experience for us both. I have seen the movie three times so far and look forward to viewing it again in the near future!
