Seeking Feature and TV Writers – LA!
Posted by Calls & Castings in NYC Castings on July 17th, 2010
The Cosby Program Calling for Submissions from TV and Feature Writers!
A Call for Submissions From TV and Feature Writers
The Guy Hanks & Marvin Miller
Screenwriting Program
Sponsored by Dr. Bill & Camille Cosby
Los Angeles, CA — Starting its seventeenth year, THE GUY HANKS & MARVIN MILLER SCREENWRITING PROGRAM aka The Cosby Program, will be accepting applications from July 15th to September 15, 2010. This program was established by Dr. Bill and Camille Cosby at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Unaffiliated with USC, the goal of the Hanks-Miller Program is to develop the pool of qualified African-American writers in the entertainment industry.
This program meets twice a week in the evenings for 15-weeks beginning February, 2011. It is designed to assist writers in completing a television or feature script, while giving them the opportunity to examine African-American history, culture and iconography. Tuition is free to those selected!
Our program is not designed for beginning-level writers. We are seeking writers who have taken the initiative to study television or feature writing through workshops or classes; though a degree in cinematic writing or film-making is not required. In an industry that is extremely competitive, we have found our greatest success in assisting those who have a strong foundation in television or screen writing and have a body of work and training to show for their efforts. Writers selected for this program usually have no produced credits, but are on the brink of great success. They are able to use the product and the relationships they create in this unique workshop environment to advance their careers. The Hanks-Miller Program is credited with introducing more successful African-American writers into the entertainment industry than any other program of its type.
Our alumni are highly respected and sought after. They are a primary recruiting source for the Disney Writing Fellowship, the Fox Diversity Program, the CBS Television Program, the Nickelodeon Writers’ Program and the Warner Brothers Comedy and Drama Writing Program. Our alumni are represented by top agencies including UTA, William Morris, ICM , APA and CAA, to name a few.
Our writers have been recognized by organizations including the NAACP; while the Program itself has been recognized by the California Governor’s office, a State Senator and the Los Angeles Mayor’s office.
We invite you to apply or re-apply to our program. We are always seeking writers with talent and a drive for success.
