UCLA Storybreak Live!
Saturday October 26, 2024 9:00pm - 11:00pm CDT
The Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel Capital Ballroom
Come experience the controlled chaos of a writer's room in person, led by UCLA's Jill Goldsmith. A group of panelists will break a pilot live, with no prior knowledge of the story, and have it (hopefully) whipped into a pitchable state before the panel ends. One random Second Rounder in attendance will be chosen to participate.
