Screenwriters Roundtable

“To make a good film,” Alfred Hitchcock once said, “you need three things: the script, the script, and the script.” Join us for this culminating Festival event, hosted by the Board of Directors, as we honor the writers and storytellers who have resonated with audiences this year and in years past.

The Screenwriter’s Roundtable gives audiences an in-depth and revealing glimpse into the work of major screenwriters, actors, and other film artists.
