Script Labs is an intensive cohort for screenwriters developing feature or TV scripts. Professional feedback, a peer workshop, and a structured path to a finished or near-finished draft.
The goal is artistic growth and creative development, through education, not pressure.
Who should apply
You have an original television pilot in progress. Actual pages, not an idea.
The project is your own original work. Specs of existing shows aren’t eligible.
HEARTH prioritizes Black, Latino, LGBTQ+, disabled, and working-class writers.
You can name specifically what you need from a lab, not just general feedback.
You’re ready to give as well as receive. You’ll respond to others’ work as rigorously as they respond to yours.
Bring the pages. We’ll bring the room.
The next cohort’s dates are coming soon. Get notified and you’ll hear the moment applications reopen.
