Organization's membership or classes of membership
Screenwriters write the scripts that are the foundation of compelling films, television shows, and digital content. The scripts they create are the blueprints for productions, including not only dialogue, but scene directions, descriptions of sound, music, narration and more.
The work of the screenwriter attracts more talented people to a project, leverages more jobs and, when successful, generates millions in spin-off economic impact.
Government funding
No government funding was received during the last completed financial year.
