You have probably heard about the Hollywood writer’s room, but what, exactly, goes on inside one? Joining us once again to demystify yet another filmmaking topic is our good friend — and Dolby Institute Fellowship winner — Carlos López Estrada, with another of his excellent Satellite Sessions — this one from March 2024. Carlos welcomes an impressive and diverse panel of film and television writers to share their experiences, break down how these rooms come together, and discuss how collaboration drives storytelling from inception to screen.

Joining today’s discussion are:

- Teresa Hsiao – Writer, Producer, and Co-creator of “Awkwafina is Nora from Queens”

- Charise Castro Smith – Writer, Director, and Academy Award®-winning Co-writer and Co-director of “Encanto”

- Amy Aniobi – Head Writer and Co-executive Producer of “Insecure.”

- Francisco Cabrera-Feo – Writer for “Acapulco” on Apple TV+ and “Gordita Chronicles”

This is another installment of our ongoing “Satellite Sessions” series, which we’re bringing to you in partnership with Antigravity Academy and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment.
