Working as a playwright can enhance your abilities as a screenwriter and even the other way around! Learning the necessities of the stage brings big advantages to the screen; like how to write compelling dialogue, the need for strong pacing, and how to utilize blocking more effectively.

Must have an AFF Producers, Conference, Weekend, or Lone Star Badge for entry.
