Saturday, February 8th, 2025, the Arlington Theater hosted 6 veteran screenwriters for a group discussion, all of whom are Oscar nominees for either adapted or original screenplays. DYLAN & ELSIE (along with CASSIE, SBMS literature buff & school librarian) attended WRITERS PANEL. Unlike last year, there was no Red Carpet, so after the event, the intrepid TEEN PRESS reporters circled around to the back of the Arlington to try to intercept the panelists. They managed to get a few interactions!
Panelists:
• CLINT BENTLEY, "Sing Sing"
• JESSE EISENBERG, "A Real Pain"
• JOSLYN BARNES, "Nickel Boys"
• MONA FASTVOLD, “The Brutalist” (Co-Writer)
• PETER STRAUGHAN, "Conclave"
• TIM FEHLBAUM, "September 5"
DYLAN, ELSIE & Cassie The SBMS Librarian all got questions answered by CLINT BENTLEY, Writer & Producer of "Sing Sing".
In the noisy lot, ELSIE got one question of the writer and executive producer of "The Brutalist", MONA FASTVOLD.
