COMMUNITY ACCESS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM OBS is a Community Organization that’s recognized by the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program.
OBS SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT “Our Goal is to Develop Great Writers.” In keeping with that goal, OBS has provided an affordable method for the aspiring pro to develop his or her skills. Submitting a feature film or TV script to our readers for coverage may put you – the writer – on track to have your manuscript developed by “Friends of OBS.” Friends of OBS are industry professionals who share the vision of our organization. They may be current TV story editors, Creative Executives, or professional screenwriting teachers. When a script receives a “Recommend” through Levels I & II of our development process, the writer will benefit from having OBS prepare your script for introduction to the industry.

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.
