The inaugural Television Screenwriting Lab for Black Muslim Writers — created to open a pathway for writers who have not been represented in television — wrapped this week. The lab was led by The Blackhouse Foundation, which works to expand opportunities for Black content creators, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (Mpac) Hollywood Bureau, which strives to bring authentic, nuanced, and inclusive presentations of Muslims on screen.
Industry instructors Qasim Basir, Dma, Hanelle Culpepper and Fanshen Cox worked with the eight screenwriters to embrace their unique voices and experiences, hone their craft, refine their pitches and prepare them for careers in the industry. The sessions were held on Smashcut, a platform for online film education.
The project culminated this week with the screenwriters presenting their projects and personal stories to Participant television executives.
