Suggests: Writing Systems Impacted Youth Storylines in Film & TV

The Writers Guild Foundation, in partnership with Storyline Partners, hosts a virtual panel delving into contemporary experiences and depictions of systems facing and opportunity youth in film and television.

Systems facing youth are those affected by the child welfare, juvenile justice, and/or homeless systems, while opportunity youth are individuals who are or have previously been disconnected from school and work. Featuring research from UCLA's Center for Scholars and Storytellers, the panel will explore creating authentic narratives that this vulnerable population encounters while avoiding harmful stereotypes.

Panelists include:

• Aaron Covington - CREED

• Sarah Lampert - GINNY & GEORGIA

• Shukree Tilghman - THIS IS US
