The 29th Annual Asian American Showcase: Screenwriting Workshop

Event Date: May 10, 2026 (12:30 PM)

A community event of The 29th Annual Asian American Showcase, this screenwriting workshop for filmmakers offers participants direct exposure to working screenwriters and an industry-based educator, creating a practical and inspiring space to develop their craft.

The workshop will feature local filmmaker and Northwestern professor Amy B. Tiong, alongside a filmmaker whose film will be screened during the Asian American Showcase (filmmaker details to be confirmed). Centered on a focused topic, such as writing monologues, sharpening dialogue, and or creating work in times of uncertainty, the live workshop combines craft discussion with hands-on exploration. Participants will gain concrete tools, creative insight, and the confidence to push their writing forward; we mainly want to provide a space for writers to convene, learn, and share their work. The workshop will be free and open to the public.
