HFC MEMBER PAGES
The HFC Writers' Room is an entry-level writing group for people who are starting to write or interested in writing. Members commit to reading at least five pages of screenplay between meetings, and coming to the next meeting prepared to discuss the material and offer suggestions/ask questions.
To submit a script for discussion please register no later than a week before the meeting. The Writers' Room is a safe place for filmmakers and writers to gather, workshop scripts and story ideas and get feedback from other writers. This is a space to empower/encourage yourself and other writers to pursue more projects and collaborate on writing stories together.
The Writer's Room is hosted by Myka.
