Five Film Fridays

Create The Writers Room is a cinematic incubator for visionary writers and filmmakers, designed to champion underrepresented storytellers with bold voices and boundless potential.

Five Film Fridays, powered by Create The Writer's Room, is where opportunity meets action. Step into a room charged with filmmakers, writers, network and studio executives, producers — and the next generation of storytellers. Watch bold short films from emerging voices, crafted for those who move the culture forward. This isn’t just a screening — it’s a movement. BE IN THE ROOM.

During the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Build real connections with filmmakers, writers, producers, and top industry executives.
• Experience premiere screenings of short films from breakthrough talents.
• Spark collaborations that could shape the future of film and television.
• Immerse themselves in festival-level programming with a raw, community-driven spirit.
• Be part of an exclusive gathering where tomorrow’s industry leaders meet today.
