Growing Up Old

In February 2019, Unreal Media hosted the second in our Writers Room Series, in partnership with SeriesFest, Dilettante Productions, and Colorado Creative Industries. Under the leadership of Head Writer Liz Keyishian-Wilks (Sesame Street, Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years, Mutant X) ten incredibly talented screenwriters from around the country spent three days in Breckenridge, Colorado fleshing out Growing Up Old, an episodic series about two young women who encounter their older selves at an assisted living facility from the future.

Growing Up Old  is currently in pre-production.

The Unreal Writers Room is a must-do experience for any aspiring television writer. As opposed to other writing labs or workshops, this was not about evaluating past work or discussing the "state of the industry." Instead, the Writers Room was a real world, real time, hands-on, dig in and learn through doing experience - which allowed me to really learn and grow not only as a writer, but as a creative collaborator.
