Selected writers develop scripts with industry support and access to individualized resources that enhance the creativity and authenticity of their stories. Writers attend immersive seminars and receive a monetary stipend for their participation in the program.

After pausing the program for COVID, the Initiative launched a new Digital Storytellers Lab, with the initial cohort running in 2022-2023. The Screenwriters Lab will relaunch in the latter half of 2023. Sign up for our mailing list to stay up to date on both programs. 

 

The Jewish Writers' Initiative is a project of Maimonides Fund and was developed in partnership with Crystal City Entertainment.
