The Organization of Black Screenwriters, Inc. (OBS) began in 1986 to address the lack of black writers represented within the entertainment industry.
Our primary function is to assist screenwriters in the creation of works for film and television and to help them present their work to the industry.
As a result of our great efforts and the continued growth of the organization, we have developed a powerful network which includes the Writers Guild of America and many agents, producers, directors and studios.
OBS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization |
