BIFF’s Screenwriters’ Residency Program seeks to nurture new filmmakers and screenwriters by providing them with an unrivaled opportunity to spend a full day with accomplished professionals who make a living working in the industry from Los Angeles and New York.
The esteemed group of Screenwriters’ Residency advisors presiding over this year’s program and evaluating candidates includes Vince Gerardis (producer of HBO’s “Games Of Thrones”), Dan Guando (EVP Acquisitions, Production & Development at The Weinstein Company), Taylor Benzie (Literary Manager at Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment), Sean Covel (producer of “Napoleon Dynamite”, “Beneath” and “Café”), Matthew Helderman (co-CEO at Buffalo 8 Productions and Bondit) and Cameron Cubbison (development executive and co-founder of ScreenCraft).
Emerging filmmakers participating in the program are Amanda Glassman with her film “A Most Dangerous Current”, Andrew Wood’s “Human Resources”, John J. Griffin with “Crater”, Karyn Kobayashi with “To Provincetown”, Kendell Courtney Klein’s “Chas Addams” and co-writers Pamela Jaye Smith and Monty Hayes McMillan with “The Cuban Circuit”.

Our impressive lineup of industry experts mentoring these writers will ensure this is a creatively fertile residency for the participants.
