Asian American Writers' Workshop — Writing the Short Film: A Six Week Screenwriting Workshop
Before you apply
About this call
The Asian American Writers' Workshop, a New York-based literary organization devoted to Asian American writing and its readers, presents Writing the Short Film, a six-week screenwriting workshop centered on the short-form screen narrative. The program situates the short film within the organization's wider mission of cultivating Asian American voices across literature and the arts, positioning screenwriting as one more site of that cultivation rather than a departure from it. The available listing describes the workshop as a six-week course and offers little beyond that. The particulars of instruction, the structure of feedback, and any resulting outputs for participants are not specified in the materials provided. Applicants should therefore treat the stated format as the verified baseline and consult the organization directly for anything not reflected here, without assuming benefits the organization has not itself declared. The curatorial vision of the program, as it can be read from its title and institutional home, centers on craft specific to the screen. The emphasis on the short film suggests an interest in compression, economy, and the discipline of a form in which every image and line must carry narrative weight within a limited running time.
