Your Script Isn’t the Problem: Notes, Agency & Advocating for Your Story

March 6, 2026 @ 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm

Finalists from this year’s Screenwriting Competition gather for an honest discussion about writing and revision — from first drafts to preparing a script for development. Centering notes, agency, and creative decision-making, the panel explores how writers stay true to their characters, make difficult cuts, and advocate for their stories as they take shape.

Panelists: Ana Pacheco, Tristin Morton, and Kelly Abbott
