‘Write Over Here: Indigenous Futurism’ welcomes Indigenous screenwriters at various stages of their careers to apply individually or with a collaborator to work on adapting their work for the screen. Collaborators may include novelists, short story writers, or playwrights.

This residency balances self-directed writing in personal studios and scheduled workshops, discussions, and events. Participants will refine their screenwriting skills, collaborate with peers, and engage in culturally informed creative practices.

 – Online preparatory week: Intro sessions, script reviews and one-on-one sessions to prepare participants fully for the on-campus program weeks.

 – Faculty and guest artist led workshops covering story and character development, screenwriting techniques, and creative practice.

 – Peer-to-peer engagement and collaborative exercises.

 – One-on-one consultations with faculty, Roxann Whitebean, and others to be announced.

 – 24/7 access to studio space for focused writing.

 – Community engagement opportunities.

Indigenous screenwriters at various stages of their careers who have a current work in progress are encouraged to apply. You may apply with one collaborator: a novelist, short story writer or playwright whose intention is to work together to develop their work for screen.
