Writer/Director Jennifer Harrington’s (DGA/WGA) most recent scripts, HELL’S BELLES (Hollywood Reporter), and THE END OF LIZ AS WE KNOW IT (Hollywood Reporter), were sold to Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures, respectively, with Jake Kasdan and Melvin Mar attached to produce.  Previously, she wrote and directed the horror feature SHOOK, acquired by the streamer Shudder and reviewed by the Wall Street Journal as a "guilty pleasure.”  Her first feature, HOUSEKEEPING, was released by Lionsgate and After Dark Films.  She also was both co-executive producer and a director for the doc-series DEAR… for Apple TV+ (Variety) and in her previous life, she was a film and TV editor. She has two film degrees: a BFA from UCLA and an MFA from USC.

With the advent of AI, having your own unique voice as a screenwriter has never been more crucial. In this seminar you will learn how to be “you" on the page and have your writing stand out in a sea of other submitted scripts. 

We will focus on what kinds of stories best represent you, how to zero in on ideas that will showcase your individuality, and how to approach developing those ideas into something that has the ability to truly connect to others on a deeper level.
