What better way to understand the mechanics of film and TV writing than to sit down with a writer and break down a script with them?
In this virtual event series, the WGF Library team gathers acclaimed writers for the ultimate script dissection. Hosted by WGF Librarians Javier Barrios and Lauren O'Connor, we'll take a painstaking look at scripts on screen to analyze and learn about description, dialogue, character voice, text on screen, plus much more.
For this session, we welcomed Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, the creators, writers, and executive producers of A Small Light, National Geographic’s limited series about the life of Miep Gies. We’ll examine the series’ first episode script to learn how the writing team approached introducing the story about the Dutch woman who sheltered Anne Frank’s family during World War II.
