The Writer's Room is a unique learning experience designed to cultivate the next generation of Christian storytellers, filmmakers, and showrunners. Participants collaborate with peers in developing and writing a (hypothetical) show or film based on a biblical story or their own original concept. While the show itself may not be real, the knowledge and skill that participants develop through the process is, laying a solid foundation for future success in the highly competitive world of the entertainment industry.
