Award-winning writer/director Jennica Carmona will lead our master scriptwriting workshop that will cover the essentials of writing scripts for TV, Film and Digital Media. The six-session workshop is for writers wishing to create new work or revising a work-in-progress. The class will focus on giving you a strong foundation in story and character development. Learn how to create strong and richly layered women characters as well as the nuts and bolts of writing scripts. Write the first draft of your script or develop a work-in-progress. Polish log lines and beat sheets that will help you pitch your project to HBO, Disney, NETFLIX or major television and film studios.

If you are a new writer, please take our prerequisite workshop Scriptwriting Essentials. You must have a basic knowledge of scriptwriting to take our Master Scriptwriting Class.

The workshop is being presented by Reel Sisters, the first Oscar Qualifying Festival for short narratives devoted to women filmmakers, and BRIC, the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, and one of the largest in New York City. BRIC presents and incubates new work by artists and media-makers who reflect the diversity that surrounds us.

Reel Sisters will be held on October 25-26, 2025. For more information visit www.reelsisters.org
