ORGANIZATION OF BLACK SCREENWRITERS DEBUT AT CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS CONFERENCE
Group to Preview OBS On Tour Workshop Scheduled for Washington D.C.
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles-based Organization of Black Screenwriters will preview its OBS On Tour workshop as a part of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Inc.’s 40th Annual Legislative Conference being held Sept. 15 – 18 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Led by OBS President Jennifer Williams, the organization will be a first-time exhibitor at the legislative event. OBS members will be on hand in the exhibitors pavilion to discuss the upcoming OBS On Tour workshop being held in Washington, D.C. in October at Howard University. Additionally, members will discuss a host of issues surrounding Hollywood and the need for development of African-American writers to create positive African-American images for the big and small screens.
“We are excited about the opportunity to participate in the CBC conference to meet our Congressional representatives up close and personal. We know many are as concerned as we are about the promotion of positive images of African-Americans in all forms of media and entertainment. That’s why OBS is committed to supporting and training writers who are serious about careers in the entertainment industry,” said Williams.
OBS is conducting a nationwide tour in selected cities to provide a series of dynamic workshops designed to help aspiring writers in the development of scripting feature films, television programs and webisode series. The tour kicked off in Los Angeles in August. The OBS On Tour schedule includes workshops at the College of New Rochelle in New York City, Sept. 24-25; Howard University in Washington, D.C., Oct. 1-2; Mid-Atlantic Film Festival/Crispus Attucks Cultural Center in Norfolk, VA, Oct. 7-8; and, Urban MediaMakers Film Festival in Atlanta, Oct. 15-16.
Founded in 1986 to address the lack of black representation among writers within the entertainment industry, OBS is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. For more information on OBS, OBS On Tour and registration information, visit www.obswriter.com.
