What's Happening in Education and Outreach at Sidewalk
Sidewalk Salon: TV Writing Fellowship Basics
January 10 | Free | Zoom | 7PM
Our first Salon of 2023 will be an overview of the TV writing fellowship application process. You'll walk away with an understanding of the requirements and deadlines of each program as well as an understanding of what makes a strong application, how you can decide which programs are right for you, and where you can turn for additional resources.
Our speaker is Troy Kelly, 2018 winner of Sidewrite, Sidewalk's screenwriting competition. Troy Kelly is a gay forensic psychologist turned TV writer. He is a fellow of the 2022-2023 Warner Bros.' Writers' Workshop. He writes dark, emotionally-driven dramas about flawed protagonists with unresolved traumas and complicated relationships confronting impossible odds and doing whatever it takes to survive. His passions include training his rescue dog Lucky to be a therapy dog and curating his collection of over 10,000 comic books.
THIS SALON IS VIRTUAL AND WILL BE HELD ON ZOOM.

January Book + Film Club is on Room
Book: Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue
"Emma Donoghue's writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness. Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it's over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days."―Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
Film: Room (2015, dir. Lenny Abrahamson)
"With visual and psychological precision, Abrahamson brilliantly evokes the experience of living outside of everyday reality. " - St. Louis Dispatch
