The
Organization of Black Screenwriters Writers Group (OBS WG) is
the support entity of the Organization of Black Screenwriters
that meets bi-monthly to review, critique, and provide input for the
advancement of marketing, producing, and/or sales of OBS
Writers’ Group members’ literary works and projects. Each OBS
WG member is given an opportunity to complete their projects
by introducing their work to a structured test market group of
diverse and aspiring writers, producers, directors, & filmmakers.
Each member will gain vital insight and experience needed to
successfully complete his or her project.
The mission of
OBS WG is to support, motivate, and encourage the
successful completion of group members’ projects by providing
project review, written and oral critiques, and editing assistance.
In so doing, each member will gain experience as a reader, screener,
story analyst, editor, and critic of numerous works set to be
submitted in a formal pitch. This multifaceted approach to
reviewing gives each member the opportunity to increase the value of
their writer’s biography. The OBS WG is committed to
providing an environment for nurturing each writer’s individual
talent by fostering beneficial and professional relationships
amongst its members, in addition to, coordinating various events to
promote, market, and sell member projects.
The OBS WG
is a team of deadline driven, semi-professional readers/screeners,
critics, and editors of various types of projects to be submitted
for completion, production, and/or sell. Successful completion of
scripts through the writer’s groups leads you to Dramatic Reads and
finally to Script Development.
