Who should attend?
Screenwriters who are ready to put in some serious writing time while also enjoying one of the world’s most popular destinations.
What to Expect
After getting settled in your well-appointed room, join our industry exec(s), the RoadCrew, and your fellow writers at the Welcome Cocktail Party—then get ready to dive into a career-changing week!
Each day will consist of delicious local meals, quiet writing time, valuable breakout sessions with our team, table reads, and networking/bonding time with your fellow retreaters. After a morning of stretching your writing muscles, refresh with a dip in our private pool or the tropical waters at the nearby beach.
There will also be several opportunities to recharge and get inspired by joining us on the included sunset cruise or organizing your own excursion such as ziplining in the jungle, horseback riding to a waterfall for a picnic lunch, or snorkeling the azure waters. We also plan to have a spa day where full-body massages will be available at the villa (for an added fee).
