• The Guy Hanks & Marvin Miller Screenwriting Program, also known as The Cosby Program, will accept applications from July 15 to Sept. 15. This program was established by Bill and Camille Cosby at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.
Unaffiliated with USC, the goal of the Hanks-Miller program is to develop the pool of qualified African American writers in the entertainment industry.
The program meets twice a week in the evenings for 15 weeks beginning in February 2011. It is designed to assist writers in completing a television or feature script, while giving them the opportunity to examine African American history, culture and iconography. Tuition is free to those selected.
The program is not designed for beginning-level writers. The writers being sought are those who have taken the initiative to study television or feature writing through workshops or classes, though a degree in cinematic writing or filmmaking is not required.
Writers selected for this program usually have no produced credits, but are on the brink of great success. They are able to use the product and the relationships they create in this workshop environment to advance their careers. Information: www.CosbyProgram.com,
