Almanack Screenwriters October Colony is part residency, part mentorship program. It brings talented emerging screenwriters together for an entire month of focused time and dedicated space to develop their work, engage with peers, and receive guidance from industry professionals.
2023 October Colony writers were Evan Twohy, Courtney Loo, Greg Scharpf, and myself. Our mentors were Adele Lim, So Yong Kim, and Natalie Difford. They flew out to the island to offer us their inspiring presence, valuable advice, and feedback. I further revised SILICON VALLEY GIRL, a crime thriller feature about a young woman in tech.
