Take a day with us to get back to what you want to do; write. Walk-ups are welcome!
Hosted by New Republic Studios – venture 30 minutes outside of Austin to enjoy writing in a new space. The studios are just far enough away from the city to forget your problems.
Bring your laptop, favorite pens or typewriter and start working on your next project! Or maybe dust off that one you’ve been avoiding…
Zachary Levi, star of THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL and the upcoming DC Comics film SHAZAM!, Brad Coolidge, Executive Producer of JOE and CYBIL RAVEN CHRONICLES and Carl Effenson, Producer of AFF 2017 Marquee Audience Award Winner MUDBOUND will be in attendance for our opening Q&A sure to provide a spark of inspiration!
AND Coldtowne Theater is partnering to make our Writers’ Retreat even more interactive! We’re offering an (optional) morning improv workshop during the retreat to help you warm up those fingers and brain cells. Micklethwait will be providing lunch, High Brew will be providing coffee, and our very own Yogi Sam Levine will be hosting a 30-minute yoga session during the lunch break! Hopefully, you’ll be given the opportunity to say “yes, and” to new skills, friendships, and that screenplay deal. No experience necessary!
There will be a happy hour on the lot to celebrate your hard work, new friends and restored ambition and RED HYDROGEN will be giving a demo of their latest mobile device!
