At AFI, Screenwriting Fellows do what they came here to do: write. They create six full-length works: three features, an original TV pilot and two TV specs for current series. Fellows forge close working relationships with accomplished faculty who guide writers’ development and allow them to hone their unique voice in personalized courses and workshops.
