The FilmLab Writer’s Room is an in-person educational opportunity for aspiring screenwriters. Eight writers were selected by a panel of judges to participate in a two-day in-person writer’s room in Portland, Oregon:

  • Kim Bailey
  • Barbara Blomquist
  • Steven Dexheimer
  • Adam Lohman
  • Kate Morris
  • Kari Mote
  • Chad Neufeld

They worked with Grant Rosenberg, an experienced showrunner, producer, and screenwriter, to collaborate on the script that will be performed by SAG-AFTRA actors. This script will move into production in 2027. 

Come listen in on the script and hear about the process behind our next FilmLab production!
