Join us each Friday in March as the Writers Guild of America, East’s Women’s Salon celebrates Women’s History Month with a series of live talks that will be recorded for future episodes of OnWriting: A Podcast of the WGA East . WGAE member, SESAME STREET writer and OnWriting host Geri Cole will conduct the interviews live on Zoom. Audience members will be invited to submit questions during the interview through Zoom.
For the second event in the series, we’ll be joined by Banban Cheng and Sasie Sealy, co-writers of LUCKY GRANDMA. The film, directed by Sealy, tells the story of an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese grandma (Tsai Chin) in New York City who goes all in at the casino, landing herself on the wrong side of luck – and in the middle of a gang war.
