Meditative Writing creator Jess Hinds will break down the process of getting a first draft down on paper, the many drafts that follow, and how things can and will change during a shoot. In this discussion, we will take a look at three original scripts and the many changes that followed before reaching the final draft. If you're an emerging writer looking to demystify the creative process and learn a handful of craft tools, this is the panel for you.

This panel is presented by The International Screenwriters' Association.

Must have an AFF Producers, Conference, Weekend, or Lone Star Badge for entry.
