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.
The series kicks off with Emerald Fennell, writer and director of PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. The film follows, Cassie (Carey Mulligan), who everyone said was a promising young woman… until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story.
