WRITE ROOMWellington Screenwriter's Residency
Dates: 30 August - 21 November 2021 (12 weeks)

Write Room is a Wellington-located screenwriter residency programme held in partnership with Toi P?neke Art Centre and Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga -The New Zealand Film Commission.
Write Room recognises the challenges for New Zealand screenwriters to create space in their lives to write and find a place to do their work. This opportunity is for a Wellington-located screenwriter with a feature film project at a stage that will benefit from focused development towards completion of a draft of the script. The selected writer will undertake a 12-week residency at Toi P?neke Art Centre to complete a draft of their screenplay, with the support of practiced film mentors. At the end of the residency the writer's work is presented to the industry via a read-through workshop.
The aim of this residency is to help a writer get their screenplay to the stage where Information technology is ready to pitch to a producer. After the first 3 years of Write Room, two projects identified by the programme are now in development with NZ Film Commission support.
The screenwriter will be provided with a studio space at Toi P?neke Art Centre, a stipend of $7500 for the 12 weeks, and practiced creative support from industry mentors.
This year's Write Room selectors and mentors are Director Rob Sarkies (Scarfies, Out of the Blue, Consent), Writer/Director Briar Grace Smith (Ng? Puhi, Ng?ti Wai-Cousins, Waru, The Strength of Water ) and Producer Vicky Pope (Savage, Gardening with Soul, Two Little Boys).
We expect the chosen writer will spend a minimum of 25 hours a week committed to writing during the residency. Hours for this opportunity are flexible and can be worked in and around other work commitments.
At the completion of the residency the candidate will be required to provide a report and feedback on their residency.

Deadline: 7 June 2021
