Slight Breeze Studios is looking for a passionate, experienced screenwriter or filmmaker to lead our first-ever 8-week in-person screenwriting workshop for emerging writers developing original short films.

This is an opportunity to guide 10 early-career creatives as they take their ideas from rough concept to polished script and pitch — with the potential for their final projects to be produced under the Slight Breeze Studios banner.

  • The Slight Breeze Writers Room is an intimate workshop experience hosted in Brooklyn, NY. Students meet once a week, complete writing assignments between sessions, and develop their script and pitch under your guidance.

    The energy is creative, the stakes are exciting, and the goal is simple: develop strong short film scripts and make room for new voices to be heard.
