SBMS Teen Press

WRITERS PANEL

Tuesday, February 13th, 2024, the Arlington Theater hosts seven veteran screenwriters for a group discussion. CHLOE & IRIS (along with CASSIE, SBMS literature buff & school librarian) strike pay dirt at the newly elevated (meaning, now an evening event, replete with red carpet) WRITERS PANEL. The TEEN PRESS reporters get their minds blown and horizons expanded while interviewing 5 of the 7 panelists, all of whom are Oscar nominees for either adapted or original screenplays. They also get to interact with up-and-coming filmmakers on the red carpet.
