​​New York Stage & Film’s Filmmakers' Workshop program supports early-career screenwriters working on strong drafts of a feature film or television pilot. Each writer has their work read by professional actors, followed by a notes session with a team of show runners and established screenwriters, who also serve as individual mentors. Recent industry mentors include Halley Feiffer (AMERICAN HORROR STORY), Marcus Gardley (THE COLOR PURPLE), Michelle Denise Jackson (MAID), Kenneth Lin (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, HOUSE OF CARDS), Charlie Stratton (IN SECRET), Matthew Weiner (MAD MEN, THE SOPRANOS), and among many others. In addition, there are masterclasses held in areas such as pitching, film editing, and how to revise. Recent guest artists have included Liz Flahive (GLOW, CAPTAIN MARVEL), Carly Mensch (GLOW, CAPTAIN MARVEL), and Ajay Sahgal (EXTENDED FAMILY).
