Join us for a lively double-panel virtual discussion about this year’s acclaimed films.
The Writers Guild Foundation, in partnership with Final Draft, Variety and The Black List, present Beyond Words, an annual celebration of the 2022 Writers Guild Award nominees for screenwriting.
We are splitting the virtual event into two back-to-back live panels on Thursday, February 10: The first features Adapted Screenplay nominees and the second features Original Screenplay nominees. Both panels are hosted and moderated by The Black List founder and CEO Franklin Leonard.
You can purchase individual tickets to each panel or the Combo ticket, which gives access to both panels. All proceeds benefit the Writers Guild Foundation Library and community outreach programs.
If you’re a member of the WGA East or WGA West, click the WGA Member button below for your complimentary ticket to both panels.
