Join Our Monthly Writing Hour And Q&A

Date / Time
Summary

Ask any lingering questions you may have about Roadmap Writers, the Career Writer Program, how to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck, and then spend a luxurious session writing with your fellow writers, perhaps with prompts, perhaps with music, perhaps just with the company of other writers. Hop on and get those pages done!

The first 30 minutes will be Q&A before diving into the full writing hour, so if you want to skip the first part, plan to join the zoom at 5:30pm PT. 

More about Giselle Contreras

Giselle Contreras is a television and film development professional who is passionate about sharing stories that reflect the world around us. Her latest work includes working as a development consultant on an upcoming documentary project at Monkeypaw, Jordan Peele’s production company. Previously, she was the Manager of Television Development at 3Pas Studios, Eugenio Derbez’s production company, which is most notably behind the half-hour comedy ACAPULCO on Apple+.

Her foundation in storytelling began at the UCLA School of Theatre, Film, and Television before she learned the ropes of representation at a boutique talent agency. She sharpened her skills at FactoryMade, a business venture company specializing in entertainment projects, and Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey Network, an English-language, Latino-infused cable channel.

During her time at The Will & Jada Smith Family Foundation, she worked at the intersection of media and philanthropy, eventually transitioning to Overbrook Entertainment's Film/TV production and development department. She enjoys mentoring emerging young writers and judging competitions for programs at the Austin Film Festival, NYFA Los Angeles, Cinestory, Stephens College, Coverfly, and her alma mater, UCLA.
