Join us for our 9th RFN Screenwriters Lab at Tuckahoe Library, where we will workshop “Gone But Not Forgotten” by Matthew Tate” and “Luisa” by Maximiliano Garcia Hernandez.

The Screenwriters Lab will discuss, critique and provide feedback to our member writers by: 

• noting what works

• identifying problems, and

• suggesting potential solutions for the writer to consider

Script submission always open! Submit PDF scripts HERE to be considered for a future lab. Both shorts and features are accepted. 

Here are the program guidelines:

1. The RFN Screenwriters Lab is a safe, constructive space for writers to support, learn, grow, and inspire.

2. Anyone may participate as writer (being workshopped), peer (offering feedback) or observer, but participants must be RFN members (free to join). We believe that all roles receive benefit from the process. Peers should have some writing experience and are highly encouraged to register early so that they may receive scripts and have time prior to the workshop to read and prepare.

3. Scripts must demonstrate at least an intermediate understanding of script format to ensure the workshop is primarily focused on story structure and development, and not on formatting rules. 

4. Two scripts are selected per workshop. 

5. Workshopped writers are responsible for taking their own notes, but prepared notes from peers are appreciated.
