Variety has released this year’s list of 10 Screenwriters to Watch, and a conversation with the honorees is to be hosted virtually by the Mill Valley Film Festival on Oct. 13.
The annual 10 to Watch program celebrates breakthrough screenwriters, actors, directors, comics, animators, producers and cinematographers, and registration for the virtual conversation with 2020’s selected screenwriters is available now. Many of this year’s honorees are already gaining accolades for their films.
