Attention UCLA TFT Alums! #wgastrong

It’s typically #FirstPageFriday today. But I’m switching it up by sharing a five-page excerpt from my pilot because this year, I was one of ten people to get into UCLA TFT for a professional program in Writing For Television!

But guys, I need your help with that. 🧵

I gwaduated my UCLA TFT program (and my mom crocheted me a stole thingy) shout out to everyone who helped me manifest this 💛💙

Sat & Sun: “African Futurism: The World of Jean-Pierre Bekolo.” An intoxicating swirl of magic and technology, folklore and genre, sensuality and politics energizes the work of the Cameroonian filmmaker. Q&As w/ Jean-Pierre Bekolo & TFT at UCLA’s Shelleen Greene: ucla.in/3wsFh13

Prior to getting accepted into UCLA TFT, I had to send in one of my TV scripts, and so I went with this, “The Plot Against Africa.”

My favorite professor from TFT at UCLA came out to the Sony picket lines on Friday. Meeting new people and reconnecting with friends from the past are two of the greatest gifts of this strike. #wgastrong #wgastrike
