One of the main goals of the CineStory Screenwriting Awards is to select up-and-coming screenwriters for mentorship programs. To this end, the semifinalists of each year's competition are invited to the exclusive CineStory Writers' Retreat, a four-day intensive program held in the Fall.
THE CINESTORY WRITERS' RETREAT
CineStory's Retreat is dedicated to the advancement of great new voices in screenwriting. Retreat attendees are chosen from the top writers of our annual competition, the CineStory Screenwriting Awards.
For four days, writers enjoy direct access to working Hollywood professionals. They receive career and craft advice from some of the best in the business - a truly unique opportunity.
